Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
other: Russian breed
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Housing: The substance was tested on 6 rabbits (3 males/3 females) of.the Russian breed, which were kept separately in V2A wire cages
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): fed on NAFAG, Gossau SG, rabbit food and water ad libitum
- Only rabbits showing normal ophthalmic findings were included in the test.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: The right eye served as a control
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 g
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Amounts of 0.1 g of the test substance were introduced into the conjunctival sac of the left eye with a spatula. After application, the eyelids were held open for a few seconds. The treated eyes of three rabbits were each rinsed with 10 ml lukewarm water about 30 seconds after treatment
Observation period (in vivo):
The reactions were appraised with a slit-lamp after 24 hours and after 2, 3, 4 and 7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6 (3 males/3 females)
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The treated eyes of three rabbits were each rinsed with 10 ml lukewarm water about 30 seconds after treatment.

Procedure : Amounts of 0.1 g of the test substance were introduced into the conjunctival sac of the left eye with a spatula.After application, the eyelids were held open for a few seconds. The right eye served as a control. The treated eyes of three rabbits were each rinsed with 10 ml lukewarm water about 30 seconds after treatment.
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: slit lamp.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Conclusions:
The primary-irritation index (overall irritation score), which serves as a measure of the acute irritation provoked by the substance, was estimated to be 0 for the cornea, 0 for the iris and 0 for the conjunctivae. Therefore the test chemical was considered as non-irritant to the eye of rabbits.
Executive summary:

An eye irritation study of test chemical was conducted in six (3 males/3 females) Russian breed rabbits. Amounts of 0.1 g of the test substance were introduced into the conjunctival sac of the left eye with a spatula. After application, the eyelids were held open for a few seconds. The treated eyes of three rabbits were each rinsed with 10 ml lukewarm water about 30 seconds after treatment. The reactions were appraised with a slit-lamp after 24 hours and after 2, 3, 4 and 7 days. The total maximum is 80 for the cornea, 10 for the iris and 20 for the conjunctivae The irritation index was estimated to be 0 for the cornea, 0 for the iris and 0 for the conjunctivae out of maximum score of 110. Since there were no evidence of any signs of ocular lesions, the test chemical was considered to be not irritating to the rabbits’ eye.
