Irritant / corrosive response data:

No Initial Pain Reaction/Pain reaction (IPR/PR) was observed.

1 hour after treatment: Conjunctival redness (score 1 or 2), chemosis (score 1 or 2) and discharge (score 3) were seen in all rabbits. Conjunctival redness (score 1) and discharge (score 1) were seen in all rabbits at 24 hours after treatment. Conjunctival redness (score 1) was seen in two rabbits and discharge (score 1) was seen in one rabbit at 48 hours after treatment. All symptoms had fully reversed in all animals by the 72 hours observations.

Fluorescein staining was negative in all animals at 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation.
.
The control eyes were symptom-free during the study.

Other effects:

No mortality, no clinical signs of systemic toxicity and bodyweights of all rabbits were within the normal range of variability.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The test item was graded as a mild irritant (Class 4 on a 1 to 8 scale) to the rabbit eye according to the modified Kay and Calandra classification system.

Executive summary:

The primary eye irritation effect of the test item was evaluated according to OECD test guideline no.: 405 (2012), EPA OPPTS 870.2400 (1998), Directive 2004/73/EC B.5 (L 152 2004) and EC No 440/2008, B.5 (2008). The test item was administered as an installation of a single dose of 0.1 g into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of 3 adult male New Zealand White rabbits. The untreated right eye served as the control. Scoring of irritation effects was performed approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after test material installation in all animals. Observations with fluorescein staining were made approximately 24 hours before treatment and then 24, 48 and 72 hours after the treatment in all animals. Rabbits were treated with analgesic and anaesthetic as per the regulatory guideline. Results obtained from these three animals were used to classify the test item for irritation potential.

No Initial Pain Reaction/Pain reaction (IPR/PR) was observed. Conjunctival redness (score 1 or 2), chemosis (score 1 or 2) and discharge (score 3) were seen in all rabbits at 1 hour after treatment. Conjunctival redness (score 1) and discharge (score 1) were seen in all rabbits at 24 hours after treatment. Conjunctival redness (score 1) was seen in two rabbits and discharge (score 1) was seen in one rabbit at 48 hours after treatment. All symptoms had fully reversed in all animals by the 72 hours observations. Fluorescein staining was negative in all animals at 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation. The control eye of animals was symptom-free during the study. No mortality occurred during the study. The bodyweights of all rabbits were considered to be within the normal range of variability.

The test item was graded as a mild irritant (Class 4 on a 1 to 8 scale) to the rabbit eye according to the modified Kay and Calandra classification system.
