- Controls:
- yes, concurrent no treatment
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 0,1 ml
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 0.1 mL test material was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each animal by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball to form a cup into which the test material was placed. The right eye remained untreated and served as control. After instillation, the eyelids were closed for about 30 seconds.
- Observation period (in vivo):
- The rabbits were examined for eye irritation and for changes in behavior and general condition 1 hour after treatment, after 24, 48, or 72 hours, then daily up to day 15 of the experimental part.
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 female rabbits
- Details on study design:
- -- Identification and adaptation
Healthy rabbits were allocated to the study group. The animals were kept in the experimental room for more than 7 days to allow them to acclimatize.
Each animal was uniquely identified by a tattoo in the ear displaying the animal number. Individual cage cards were affixed to each cage displaying the study number, test material, day of treatment, and animal number.
-- Assignment
3 female rabbits were used for this study. The mean initial body weight at the start of the experimental part was 3.94 kg.
-- Housing and diet
All rabbits were housed in an air-conditioned room of about 50 m2. A timer to provide a 12-hour light and a 12-hour dark regime controlled lighting.
They were kept separately in special rabbit cages (manufacturer: Becker; type K99/30 KU, floor area about 5400 cm2, a shelter with an integrated sitting board of about 1820 cm2; overall height: 60 cm) with plastic grids placed on mobile racks. The collection pans underneath the cages were cleaned at Ieast three times per week. The cages were also cleaned before the start of the experimental part.
Temperature and relative humidity were measured using a thermohygrograph. The room temperature varied from 19 to 22 °C and the relative humidity varied from 39 to 60 %.
The relative atmospheric humidity in the animal room was transiently outside the target range of > 40 %. This minor and short deviation did not influence the integrity of the study.
The rabbits received a commercial diet for rabbits, Provimi Kliba 3418.0 ad libitum and ssniff K snack, as well as fresh community tap water from Makrolon drinking bottles ad libitum.
According to the specifications given by manufacturer, the diet had been checked by independent laboratories. Analysis included both qualitative and quantitative evaluation for heavy metals, aflatoxins, pesticides, and antibiotics.
The drinking water was periodically analyzed according to the German regulations for human drinking water.
-- Preparation
The test material, a liquid, was administered undiluted.
–- Administration and dose level
To ensure that only rabbits with normal eyes were included in the study, approximately 24 hours before treatment ophthalmologic examinations were performed after instillation of a 0.15 % fluorescein solution (Dr. Thilo & Co.) using an ophthalmoscope. Animals with eye defects, injury or irritation were excluded.
0.1 mL test material, was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each animal by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball to form a cup into which the test material was placed. The right eye remained untreated and served as control. After instillation, the eyelids were closed for about 30 seconds.
The study consisted of an initial test with one rabbit and a confirmatory test with two further animals.
-- Observation for clinical symptoms
The rabbits were examined for eye irritation and for changes in behavior and general condition 1 hour after treatment, after 24, 48, or 72 hours, then daily up to day 15 of the experimental part.
Eye changes were evaluated according to DRAIZE, OECD and EEC recommendations.

- Executive summary:
Purpose
The purpose of this primary eye irritation assay was to provide information on possible health hazards in case of acute eye contact with a test material and serve as a a rational basis for risk assessment to the eye irritating potential of the test item in man.
Study Design
The test item was tested for its eye irritating properties. Prior to testing, the HET-CAM test was performed and no irritating potential could be detected. The test for primary eye irritation was started as an initial test with one animal and followed by the confirmatory test with two further animals.
For the test of primary eye irritation, 0.1 mL of the test material was applied into the conjunctival sac of rabbits. The first examination of the eyes followed 1 hour after instillation. The other examinations were performed daily for further 7 days.
Results
No signs of irritation could be observed at the cornea or iris. The conjunctivae showed redness (score 1) at the first (1 hour) and second reading (24 hours). Furthermore discharge (score 1) at the first reading was seen. Thereafter no signs of irritation were observed. The untreated eyes were unchanged.Evaluation of all animals (mean score):
