Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
21 days after treatment
Duration of post- treatment incubation (in vitro):
.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Three
Details on study design:
Following administration of the test substance, the eyelids were held closed for approximately 10 seconds. The behaviour of the animals was observed following instillation of the test substance. The animals were then returned to their cages.

The degree of eye irritation as evaluated for each rabbit at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment. Additional observations were made on Days 7, 14 and 21 after treatment to check the reversibility of the reactions.

Observations were made after applying 2% aqueous sodium fluorescein to test the area and washing with physiological saline, with the exception of the 1 hour observations. Corneal alterations were made with the aid of a transilluminator with a cobalt blue filter.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Instillation of the submission substance into the eyes of three rabbits caused marked eye irritation (corneal opacity, iridial infllammation, conjunctival erythema and chemosis). Irritation was reversible in two rabbits but persisted (grade 1 conjunctival chemosis only) in one rabbit at 21 days.
Executive summary:

The submission substance Betadet SHR was instilled (0.1 mL) into one eye of three New Zealand White rabbits in accordance with OECD TG 405. Ocular irritation was scored for up to 21 days after instillation, using the Draize scale. Signs of irritation included corneal opacity (Grade 1 in all animals, fully reversible by 21 days); iridial inflammation (Grade 1 in all animals, fully reversible by 14 days); conjunctival erythema (Grade 3 in all animals, fully reversible by Day 21); and conjunctival chemosis (Grade 2-3). Grade 1 conjunctival chemosis persisted in one rabbit at 21 days. The mean scores for corneal opacity (mean score ≥1), iridial inflammation (mean score ≥1) and conjunctival erythema (mean score ≥2) result in classification of the substance as a Category 2 eye irritant according to the CLP Regulation; however the lack of complete reversibility of conjunctival chemosis in one rabbit at 21 days triggers classification in Category 1.
