Test animals / tissue source

Species:

rabbit

Strain:

New Zealand White

Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:

The test was performed on 1 female rabbit, checked for normal eye conditions, weighing between 24 90 g (approx. 12-14 weeks old). The animal was housed individually in a metal cage identified with a numbered ear tag, kept at a constant room temperature of 20±3 °C, at a relative humidity of 30-70 % and on a 12-hour light cycle day. The rabbit received ad libitum standard rabbit pellet - Nafag No. 814, Gossau, Switzerland - and fresh water. All batches of the diet are assayed for nutritive ingredients and contaminant level by the manufacturer. Analytical results are available at the animal supply office. The quality of the drinking water was according to the specifications of the "Schweizerisches Lebensmittelbuch" (Edition 1972). Results of the routine chemical examination of water at source (Grundwasserfassung Stein) as conducted periodically by the water authority (Baudepartement des Kantons Aargau, Abteilung Gewaesserschutz) are available to Ciba-Geigy Ltd., as well as the results of inhouse chemical analysis by the analytical laboratories of the Pharmaceuticals Division, Ciba-Geigy Ltd. The body weight was recorded at start and on days 3, 7, and 14 of the test.

Test system

Amount / concentration applied:

0.1 ml (66 mg) of FAT 40032/D was placed into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of animal.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

1 second

Observation period (in vivo):

1, 24, 48, 72 hours , 7 and 14 days

Duration of post- treatment incubation (in vitro):

None

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

1 Female

Details on study design:

The left eye of animal was treated with the test substance after gently pulling away the lower lid from the eyeball. The lids were then held together for about one second in order to prevent loss of the test material. The right eye remained untreated and served as a control. The animal was checked daily for systemic symptoms and mortality.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

FAT 40032/D can be classified as non-irritant according to the EEC Directive No.83/467/1983.

Executive summary:

A study was performed to determine the eye irritation potential of FAT 40032/D in rabbits. There were some mild reactions observed in the eyes of the animals. Because reactions were observed within 72 hours after instillation of the test compound, the observation period was extended to 14 days to determine the reversibility of the eye reactions. Slight reddish staining of the cornea was seen, disappearing within 14 days. According to the EC classification of the results obtained 24 to 72 hours after instillation, FAT 40032/D can be classified as non-irritant to albino rabbit's eye. The eye reactions were reversible until the end of the observation period of day 14.
