- Remarks on result:
- other: discharge score 1 (max. 3), no effects after 24 h
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- No corneal opacity was noted in any of the animals at any reading, i.e. the mean score = 0 for all readings in all animals.
Iritis: no effect in any animal at any time, therefore mean score = 0.
Conjunctivae: mild to moderate reddening, discharge and swelling were noted 1 hour after application but no effects were detected 24 h after application except redness score 1 in one rabbit. No effect was noted at 48 and 72 hrs post treatment (study termination). - Other effects:
- no clinical symptoms
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- In three White Vienna rabbits the instillation of 0.1 mL of the undiluted test substance into the conjunctival sac of one eye caused reddening (grade 1 - 2) and slight swelling (grade 1) 1 hour after application (no washing). In two rabbits the findings cleared up 24 hours after application or within 48 h in the third rabbit. No effects were noted on cornea or iris.
