Details on study design:

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): 24 h after administration the treated eyes were wahsed out thoroughly with isotonic saline at approx. 37 °C- The eyes were also washed out at designated examination times at whoch discharge was observed or a corneal examination with fluorescin was performed.

EYE EXAMINATION
The eyes were examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after administration of the test substance. At 24 and 72 hours and after 7 days, the eyes were further examined for corneal lesions under UV light after instillation of one drop of a 0.01 % fluorescein-sodium solution. Lesions in cornea, iris or conjunctivae were graded numerically. All other changes or toxic effects were recorded when apparent. Since effects were still present in the eyes of two animals after 72 hours, further examination were carried out after 7 days.

Any other information on results incl. tables

One hour up to 48 respectively 72 hours after administration the animals showed some definitely injected blood vessels up to diffuse beefy red color. Obvious swellings of the conjunctivae with partial eversion of lids was noted in all animals 1 hour after application. 24 hours after administration two animals showed slight swellings. One animal showed a moderately reddened iris 24 hours after administration. One hour after administration one animal showed serous eye discharge discolored by the compound. The two other animals showed white mucous eye discharge. 7 days after administration all signs of irritation had disappeared.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Testing of Resin 835 A (Lot: 0161852) for primary eye irritation in the rabbit showed that the substance is not irritating to eyes according to the classification criteria of Directive 2001/59/EC.

Executive summary:

An amount of 100 mg Resin 835 A (Lot: 0161852) was administered once to the conjunctival sac of the left eye of three female New Zealand White rabbits. The treated eyes were washed out 24 hours after the administration of the test substance. The untreated eyes served in each case as a control.

The test substance caused no severe irritating effects in the eyes of the animals.

Based on the system of evaluation defined by the EC, the following group mean scores for ocular lesions after 24, 48 and 72 hours were calculated:

Redness of conjunctiva : 1.22

Opacity of cornea : 0.0

Chemosis of conjunctiva : 0.22

Iris : 0.11

No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed.

Summarizing, testing for primary eye irritation in the rabbit showed that Resin 835 A (Lot: 0161852) is not irritating to eyes according to the classification criteria of Directive 2001/59/EC.
