STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: refrigerated

Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Dr. K. Thomae GmbH, Biberach
- Age at study initiation: Young adult animals
- Housing: Single housing in fully air-conditioned rooms.
- Diet (ad libitum): Kliba-Labordiaet 341 (Klingentakmuehle AG, Kaiseraugst, Switzerland), about 130 g per animal per day.
- Water (ad libitum): tap water, about 250 ml per animal per day.
- Acclimation period: for at least 1 week


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20-24
- Humidity (%): 30-70
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 h/12 h

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated left eye.
Amount / concentration applied:
Each animal received a single application of 0.1 mL of undiluted test substance into the conjunctival sac of the right eye.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 h
Observation period (in vivo):
15 d and 21 d for animal 01
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6
Details on study design:
Prior to treatment, both eyes of the animals were examined for signs of pre-existing irritation, reaction or abnormality which would prevent it from being used on the study.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: with tap water
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

SCORING SYSTEM: The assessment and scoring of the findings was based on the OECD Guideline 405 (adopted Feb. 24, 1987) and EEC L 383A, B.5 (Dec. 29, 1992).

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The average score (24 to 72 h) for irritation was calculated to be 0.4 for corneal opacity, 1.0 for iris, 2.1 for conjunctivae redness and 1.7 for chemosis. The findings were reversible in all animals within 15 or 21 days after application, thus the study was terminated.

The mean values were calculated according to 93/21/EEC criteria (Apr. 27, 1993).
