Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single exposure
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
1 male and 2 females
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE: Rinsing of the eye was not performed.
SCORING SYSTEM: Same scale as the one provided in the OECD guideline 405.
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: not reported

The rabbits were investigated for eye irritation and for changes in behavior and general condition 1 hour after treatment and then daily for a period of further 7 days. All rabbits were weighed before the start of the study and on days 5 and 8. Local changes of the eye were evaluated according to the recommendations of the OECD (in addition, observations for discharge were reported).

Irritant / corrosive response data:
After single instillation of 0.1 mL Isobutyrophenone into the conjunctival sac of the left eye, without rinsing, very slight redness (value 1) of the conjunctivae was observed in all 3 animals 1 hour after instillation and only in 1 rabbit up to day 2 of the study. No other signs of primary eye irritation according to the OECD rating were observed. All rabbits showed discharge without chemosis at the first reading. Refer to attached table 2 for full details.
Other effects:
No signs of systemic toxicity were seen. The body weight development corresponded to that of untreated rabbits of the same age. All animals survived the 7-day observation period.
