Irritant / corrosive response data:
Minor (grade 1) conjunctival irritation was noted for all animals at the one hour post instillation observation. The eyes of all animals appeared normal by 48-hours post-instillation. There were no corneal or iridial findings.
Other effects:
There were no deaths during the study. No animals vocalized upon instillation of the test article. There were no remarkable body weight changes observed during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
