- Diet: pelleted diet for rabbits, K-H (SSNIFF Spezialdiäten GmbH, Soest, Germany), approximately 100 g/day. Hay (TechniLab-BMI BV, Someren, the Netherlands) was provided at least 3 times/week.
- Water: tap water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 21.1 - 24.1 (actual range)
- Humidity (%):43 - 80 (actual range)
- Air changes (per hr): approximately 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 mL, equivalent to on average 64.2 mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single application without washing
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Reading time points: 1, 24, 48 and 72 h and 7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 males
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): the eye remained unwashed after installation

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scoring system

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: a solution of 2% fluorescein in water (adjusted to pH 7) was instilled into both eyes of each animal to quantitatively determine the corneal epithelial damage

Irritant / corrosive response data:
One hour after instillation, 3/3 rabbits had slight or moderate conjunctivae (score 1 or 2) and slight chemosis (score 1) (see Table 1 under 'Any other information on results incl. tables').
At the 24- and 48-hour reading time point moderate to severe conjunctivae was noted in 3/3 animals; which persisted as slight to moderate conjunctivae until 72 hours after installation. Slight-moderate chemosis was observed in 3/3 rabbits 24 and 48 hours after installation, and in 2/3 until the 72-hour reading time point. Iritis (score 1) was observed in 3/3 rabbits until 24 hours after installation. All eye irritation effects had cleared within the 7-day reading time point. No irritation reactions were observed in the cornea.
Other effects:
There was no mortality. No clinical signs were observed and the body weight increase was normal for this species and strain.
