Analysis of the diet was limited to that performed by the manufacturer, records of which are maintained in the Calvert archives.
Water: Tap water was available ad libitum, to each animal via an automatic watering device. The water is routinely analyzed for contaminants as per Calvert SOP’s. No contaminants were known to be present in the water at levels that would be expected to interfere with the results of this study. Results of the water analysis are maintained in the Calvert archives.
Acclimation: Study animals were acclimated to their housing for a minimum of 5 days prior to dosing.

Once

Observation period (in vivo):

prior to dose, and at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose and on Day 5.

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

Three

Details on study design:

The primary skin irritation study was initiated prior to this study. Since the pH of the test material was 6 and the test article was not found to be severely irritating or corrosive to the skin of any rabbit, this study was conducted. In the interest of animal welfare, based on the results of the primary skin irritation study and at the discretion of the Study Director and Calvert DLAM, one animal was dosed and evaluated at one hour post-dose before the remaining two animals were dosed.
Within 24 hours before administration of the test article, both eyes were examined. All animals placed on study were found acceptable.
Each animal received 0.1 ml of undiluted liquid test article. A pre-anesthetic was applied to both eyes of each rabbit. The preanesthetic was 2 drops of Tetracaine applied to the corneal surface approximately 5 minutes prior to dose application. The test article was placed in the conjunctive sac of the right eye in one animal after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lid were then gently held together for approximately one second in order to limit loss of the material. One animal was dosed and evaluated at one hour post-dose before the remaining two animals were dosed. The eyes of the three rabbits remained unrinsed after instillation of the test article. The right eye of each animal was treated with the test article and the left eye served as the untreated control.
Since there were no adverse reactions after administration of the test article to the first animal, or at the 1-hour examination a severe reaction was not observed in the treated eye of any of the animals, the treated animals were maintained on study. The scores of both eyes were documented in the raw data.

Scoring system: An animal has exhibited a positive reaction if the test substance has produced at any observation one or more of the following signs:
opacity of the cornea (other than a slight dulling of the normal luster), inflammation of the iris (other than a slight deepening of the rugae of a light hyperemia of the circumcorneal blood vessels) or an observatons swelling in the conjunctivae (excluding the cornea and iris) with partial eversion of the eyelids or a diffuse crimson colour with individual vessels not easily discrenible.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS

Conclusions:

Based on the EEC and GHS criteria, dadpm/deg/po was determined to be a non-irritant.

Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to determine the potential irritant and/or corrosive effects of the test article on eyes of rabbits.

 

The test article was administered (0.1 ml) into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of three New Zealand White rabbits. Upon instillation, the eye was held closed for approximately 1 second to prevent loss of material. The left eye of each animal served as an untreated control. Both eyes of all animals were examined and scored for ocular irritation prior to dose and at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose and on Day 5.   

 

In the animals receiving test item, iritis was observed in one of three rabbits only at 1 hour post treatment. Scores for conjuctival redness, chemosis and/or discharge were observed at 1, 24, 48 and/or 72 hour post-dose. There was no irritation present on Day 5 and the in-life study was terminated.
