Details on study design:

Test System: freshly isolated bovine corneas
Number of Conreas per Group: 3
Number of Test Item Group: 1
Number of Negative Control Group: 1
Number of Positive Control Group: 1
Total number of Corneas: 9

After a first opacity measurement of the fresh bovine corneas (t0), the test item FAT 40840/A
TE, the positive, and the negative controls were applied to corneas and incubated for 240
minutes at 32 ± 2 °C in cMEM medium, supplemented with 10% FCS. After the incubation
phase the test item, the positive, and the negative controls were each rinsed from the
corneas and opacity was measured again (t240).

After the opacity measurements permeability of the corneas was determined while
application of 1 mL of a fluorescein solution for about 90 minutes at 32 ± 2 °C in a horizontal
position. The coming out liquid was measured spectrophotometrically.

In vitro score

In vitro score	Proposed in vitro Scale
0 -3	non eye irritant
3.1 - 25	mild eye irritant
25.1 - 55	moderate eye irritant
55.1 - 80	severe eye irritant
>80.1	very severe eye irritant

With the negative control (0.9% NaCl solution) neither an increase of opacity nor permeability of the corneas could be observed.

The positive control (10% (v/v) Benzalconium chloride) showed clear opacity and distinctive permeability of the corneas and therefore, is classified as very severe eye irritant.

The test item FAT 40840/A TE caused opacity and permeability of the corneas compared with the results of the negative control. The calculated in vitro score was 11.70 and therefore, the test item was classified as mild eye irritant.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: mild eye irritant

Remarks:

Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: INVITOX (UK) protocol no. 98

Conclusions:

In conclusion, it can be stated that in this study and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item FAT 40840/A TE is considered to be a mild eye irritant.

Executive summary:

This in vitro study was performed to assess the corneal irritation and damage potential of FAT 40840/A TE by means of the BCOP assay using fresh bovine corneas. After a first opacity measurement of the fresh bovine corneas (t0), the test item FAT 40840/A TE, the positive, and the negative controls were applied to corneas and incubated for 240 minutes at 32 ± 2 °C in cMEM medium, supplemented with 10% FCS. After the incubation phase the test item, the positive, and the negative controls were each rinsed from the corneas and opacity was measured again (t240). After the opacity measurements permeability of the corneas was determined while application of 1 mL of a fluorescein solution for about 90 minutes at 32 ± 2 °C in a horizontal position. The coming out liquid was measured spectrophotometrically. With the negative control (0.9% NaCl solution) neither an increase of opacity nor permeability of the corneas could be observed.
