Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics", FDA, Austin, Texas, S. 51, 1975
Conclusions:
The test item was found to be sligthly irritant to eyes (powder effect)
Executive summary:

Six rabbits were emploeyed to determine the effects of the test item on the mucous membranes of the eye. 100 mg try powder were applied per eye to the conjunctival sac. The left eye was treated the right served as control. The test war performed according to Federal Register Vol. 38, Nr. 187, S. 27019, 1973.

Observations ere recorded 1, 7, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application using a magnifying lens. After observation at 24 hours all eyes were washed using saline. Observations at 48 and 72 hours were made after instillation of sodium fluorescin solution (0.01%).

Effects wwere scored according to "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics", FDA, Austin, Texas, S. 51, 1975.

Result:

After application of the dry powder the maximum irritation index of 12 was observed after 7 hours.

The slight, transient effects recorded in this study cause by application of the try powder were considered as mechanical irritation by solid grains of the test material.
