Keys: IVIS =In VitroIrritation Score, Io =Baseline Reading (With medium but without cornea), I = LUX   Reading with Medium and Cornea, OD490= Optical Density at 490 Wave Length, - = Not Applicable, Corr.             = Corrected. Blank OD490value = 0.045.

InitialOpacity Value = [((Io⁄I)-b)/a)], Where I = Initial LUX, Io = Baseline Reading

Note: a (0.0251) and b (0.9894) are constant.

Example:Initial Opacity Value = [((1107/1000)-0.9894)/0.0251] =4.69

Post TreatmentOpacity Value = [((Io⁄I)-b)/a)], Where, I = Post Treatment LUX, Io = Baseline Reading.

Note: a (0.0251) and b (0.9894) are constant.

Example:Initial Opacity Value = [((1107/992)-0.9894)/0.0251] =5.04

Corr. Opacity Value = Post Treatment Opacity Value - Initial Opacity Value

Example:Corr. Opacity Value = 5.04 – 4.69 =0.35

Final Opacity Value = Corr. Opacity Value – Mean Corr. Opacity Value of Control (Group I)

Example:Final Opacity Value= 103.67 – 0.37 =103.30

Corr. OD490Value = OD490Value – Blank OD490Value, Where Blank Value for this trial was 0.045

Example:Corr. OD490Value = 0.054 -0.045 = 0.009

Final OD490Value = Corr. OD490Value –Mean Corr.OD490Valueof Control (Group I)

Example:Final OD490Value = 1.578 -0.008 = 1.570

IVIS (Control) = Corr. Opacity Value + (15 x Corrected OD490)

Example:IVIS = 0.35 + [15 x 0.009] =0.49

IVIS (Treatment) = Final Opacity Value + (15 x Final OD490)

Example:IVIS = 103.30 + (15 x 1.570) =126.85


 

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The IVIS cut-off values for identifying test item as inducing serious eye damage (UN GHS Category 1) and test item not requiring classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage (CLP no Category)
Executive summary:

test item not requiring classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage (CLP No Category)

The IVIS score for the corneas treated with 750 μLuric acid(suspension) at 20% (w/v) concentration incorn oilwere found to be 0.46.
