The shaven skin on the left side was slightly scarified immediately before treatment.
A gauze patch 2.5 x 2.5 cm was soaked with the test substance and immediately applied to the prepared skin. The patch was covered with a plastic film 5 x 5 cm, which was fixed to the body with adhesive tape. FAT 40061/A was applied to each side in quantities of 0.5 g. Before application a 50 %.polyethylene glycol trituration (PEG 400) was made. The gauze patches were removed 24 hours after the application. The reaction of the skin was appraised upon removal and 72 hours after it, based on the following evaluation scheme.

- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to assess the potential of FAT 40061/A to cause acute irritation on the rabbit skin. The procedure adopted was the patch-test technique described in the "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics" (1959) of the US Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO). Six rabbits (3 males/3 females) of the Russian breed were used in the occlusive patch test. The rabbits were shaved on the whole back and flanks two days before treatment with an electric clipper. In order to prevent injuries by bites the rabbits were kept separately in V2A wire cages, where they had access to food (NAFAG, Gossau SG, rabbit food) and water ad libitum. The shaven skin on the left side was slightly scarified immediately before treatment. A gauze patch 2.5 x 2.5 cm was soaked with the test substance and immediately applied to the prepared skin. The patch was covered with a plastic film 5 x 5 cm, which was fixed to the body with adhesive tape. FAT 40061/A was applied to each side in quantities of 0.5 g. Before application a 50 % polyethylene glycol trituration (PEG 400) was made. The gauze patches were removed 2 4 hours after the application. The reaction of the skin was appraised upon removal and 72 hours after it. The primary irritation index as the measure of the acute irritation to the skin of rabbits was found to be 0. Therefore, FAT 40061/A is to be considered as non-irritant to the skin of rabbits.
Reference
The primary irritation index as the measure of the acute skin irritation provoked by the substance is defined as the average of all the ratings found after 24 and 72 hours on the intact and slightly scarified skin. Compounds producing combined averages (primary irritation indexes) of 2 or less are only mildly irritating; whereas those with indexes from 2 to 5 are moderate irritants, and those with scores above 6 are considered severe irritants. The primary irritation index of FAT 40061/A was 0.
Endpoint conclusion

- no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

- Executive summary:
To assess the acute eye irritation potential of FAT 40061 when exposed to rabbit eye, a study was performed in accordance to the procedure mentioned in "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics" (19 59) of the AFDO. The substance was tested on 6 rabbits (3 males/3 females) of the Russian breed. Amounts of 0.1 g of the test substance were introduced into the conjunctival sac of the left eye with a spatula. After application, their eyelids were held open for a few seconds. The right eye served as a control. The treated eyes of three rabbits were each rinsed with 10 ml lukewarm water about 30 seconds after treatment. The reactions were appraised with a slit-lamp after 24 hours and after 2, 3, 4 and 7 days. Animal no. 4 and 5 whose eyes were not rinsed after exposure had slight irritation with conjunctiva at 24h observsation, which got reversed by 48h. No other irritation reactions were seen. The primary-irritation index, which serves as a measure of the acute irritation provoked by the substance, was found to be 0 for the cornea, 0 for the iris and 0.5 for the conjunctivae. Therefore FAT 40061/A is considered to be as a minimal irritant to the eye of rabbits.
Reference
The irritation index was found to be 0 for the cornea, 0 for the iris and 0.5 for the conjunctivae.

Additional information
Skin:
A study was conducted to assess the potential of FAT 40061/A to cause irritation on the rabbit skin. The procedure adopted was the patch-test technique described in the "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics" (1959) of the US Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO). Six rabbits (3 males/3 females) of the Russian breed were used in the occlusive patch test. The rabbits were shaved on the whole back and flanks two days before treatment with an electric clipper. In order to prevent injuries by bites the rabbits were kept separately in V2A wire cages, where they had access to food (NAFAG, Gossau SG, rabbit food) and water ad libitum. The shaven skin on the left side was slightly scarified immediately before treatment. A gauze patch 2.5 x 2.5 cm was soaked with the test substance and immediately applied to the prepared skin. The patch was covered with a plastic film 5 x 5 cm, which was fixed to the body with adhesive tape. FAT 40061/A was applied to each side in quantities of 0.5 g. Before application a 50 % polyethylene glycol trituration (PEG 400) was made. The gauze patches were removed 2 4 hours after the application. The reaction of the skin was appraised upon removal and 72 hours after it. The primary irritation index as the measure of the acute irritation to the skin of rabbits was found to be 0. Therefore FAT 40061/A is to be considered as non-irritant to the skin of rabbits.
