REMARK from section OVERALL IRRITATION/ CORROSION RESULTS:

Instillation of 0.1 ml into one eye of each of the three rabbits resulted in iritation of the conjunctivae, which was seen as redness. The irritation had completely resolved within 24 hours in all animals. No iridial irritation or corneal opacity was observed and treatment of the eyes with 2% fluorescein, 24 hours after instillation, revealed no corneal epithelial damage in any of the animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Not Irritating

Executive summary:

Instillation of 0.1 ml into one eye of each of the three rabbits resulted in irritation of the conjunctivae, which was seen as redness. The irritation had completely resolved within 24 hours in all animals. No iridial irritation or corneal opacity was observed and treatment of the eyes with 2% fluorescein, 24 hours after instillation, revealed no corneal epithelial damage in any of the animals.

Based on these results, T-7145 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation.
