Irritant / corrosive response data:
Application of the test article to healthy rabbit conjunctivae resulted in a primary irritation score of 0.67. Slightly reddened and/or slight swelling of the conjunctivae, white solid remnants in eye or conjunctival sac were observed in all animals 1 and 24 hours after application as well as in one female at the 48-hour reading. Slight watery discharge was observed in the male and one female animal at the 1-hour reading. Slightly reddened sclera were observed in all animals at the 1-hour reading and in one female at the 24-hour reading.
Other effects:
- No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test and observation period, and no mortality occuned.
- No staining of the treated eyes by the test article was observed.
- All animals gained normal body weight
