Irritant / corrosive response data:
A crimson-red or beefy-red conjunctival appearance was evident throughout the first 72-hours after instillation. Very-slight or slight chemosis and slight or moderate discharge were apparent during this time. From 24-hours after instillation scattered or diffuse areas of opacity covering up to three quarters of the corneal surface were evident. Iritis was apparent 72-hours after instillation.
Other effects:
One week after instillation (Days 8 and 9) injection of the conjunctival blood vessels, scattered or diffuse area of opacity covering up to a quarter of the corneal surface and an area of pannus were evident. Pannus is regarded as an irreversible effect, consequently the study was terminated after the Day 9 assessment and no further animal was committed to the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
Conclusions:
Pannus is regarded as an irreversible effect and under the criteria of the Globally Harmonised System of classification (United Nations 2005 and more recent revisions) as adopted by the European Commission (European Communities Regulation 1272/2008) DMI was assigned to Category 1 (Irreversible effects on the eye).
