Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single dose
Observation period (in vivo):
3 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
4 males and 2 females
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: no washing
- Time after start of exposure: approximately 24 hours after application, the treated eyes were rinsed to remove any residual test material

SCORING SYSTEM:
At each interval, the treated and control eyes were examined and scored for ocular reactions according to the Draize scale

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
Fluorescein dye was used to confirm presence or absence of corneal ulceration in treated eyes starting with the 24 hour observation and at each subsequent observation until there was no stain retention for two observations .

Remarks on result:
other: See remark in Irritant/corrosive response data
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Tri-isobutylphosphate produced mild to moderate, transient ocular irritation. Irritation consisted primarily of conjunctival irritation (redness, chemosis, discharge) with the most severe effects occuring at one hour. One animal exhibited iridial changes at one hour. No corneal changes were seen. Four of the six animals were free of ocular irritation within 24 hours after instillation of the test material; the remaining two animals were free of ocular irritation within 48 to 72 hours.
