Irritant / corrosive response data:
Corneal opacity was observed at 24 and 48 hours (grade 1) and persisted with grade 2 from 72 hours until the end of the study period (day 21). Iris inflammation (grade 1) was observed from the 24-hour observation until the end of the study. The mean scores calculated over the 24-48-72 hours period were 1.33 for corneal opacity, and 1.0 for iris inflammation.
Conjunctival reactions, redness (grade 2) and chemosis (grade 2 or 3) were observed between 1 and 72 hours, and then cleared by day 21. The mean scores (24-48-72 hours) were 2.0 for conjunctival redness, and 3.0 for chemosis. In addition, discharge was observed between 1 and 72 hours following administration (see details in Table 7.3.2/1).
Other effects:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, Dermalcare MAP L-213/K induced irreversible eye damage (persistent corneal and iridal effects on day 21) and is therefore classified as Eye Dam. 1 (H318) according to the criteria of the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP) or to the criteria of the Directive 67/548/EEC.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation screening study performed similarly to the OECD No. 405 guideline, 0.1 mL of undiluted Dermalcare MAP L-213/K was instilled into the conjunctival sac of right eye of one male New Zealand White Rabbit. After the instillation the substance was not rinsed off. The animal was then observed for 21 days for eye edema and erythema of the conjunctivae, corneal opacity and iris lesion. Eye irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 1,24, 48 and 72 hrs, 7, 14 and 21 days after the instillation of the substance. The mean individual scores were calculated within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hrs).

The mean score was 1.3 for corneal opacity, 1.0 for the iris lesion, 3.0 for chemosis and 2.0 for conjunctival erythema. While the effects on the conjunctivae (redness and chemosis) were fully reversible within 21 days, effects on the cornea and on the iris were irreversible over the 21 -day observation period.

 

Therefore, under the test conditions, Dermalcare MAP L-213/K induced irreversible damage to the rabbit eye and is classified as Eye Dam. 1 (H318) according to the criteria of the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP) and as Xi, R41according to the criteria of the Directive 67/548/EEC.
