Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Executive summary:

Instillation into one eye of each of the three male albino rabbits affected the conjunctivae in animal 4218. The irritation of the conjunctivae had resolved within 48 hours after instillation. A small amount of discharge was observed at the 24 hour observation in animal 4227. Eye irritation was not observed in animal 4229, during the study period. Treatment of the eyes with 2% fluorescein, 24 hours after test substance instillation revealed no corneal epithelial damage in any of the animals.
