- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF ISOLATED EYES
After removing the head from the plastic box, it was put on soft paper. The eyelids were carefully cut away with scissors, avoiding damaging the cornea. One small drop of 2% (w/v) fluorescein solution was applied onto the cornea surface for a few seconds and subsequently rinsed off with 20 mL physiological saline. Then the fluorescein- treated cornea was examined with a hand-held slit lamp or slit lamp microscope, with the eye in the head, to ensure that the cornea was not damaged. If the cornea was in good condition, the eyeball was carefully removed from the orbit
The eye ball was carefully removed from the orbit by holding the nictitating membrane with a surgical forceps, while cutting the eye muscles with bent scissors. Care was taken to remove the eyeball from the orbit without cutting off the optical nerve too short. The procedure avoided pressure on the eye while removing the eyeball from the orbit, in order to prevent distortion of the cornea and subsequent corneal opacity. Once removed from the orbit, the eye was placed onto damp paper and the nictitating membrane was cut away with other connective tissue. The prepared eyes were kept on the wet papers in a closed box so that the appropriate humidity was maintained.
Eyes were examined for slit lamp again when placed in the steel clamp for corneal opacity and fluorescein staining.
EQUILIBRATION AND BASELINE RECORDINGS
At the end of the acclimatization period, a zero reference measurement was recorded for cornea thickness and opacity to serve as a baseline (t=0) for each individual eye. The cornea thickness of the eyes should not change by more than 5% within the -45 min and the zero time. No changes in thickness (0.0%) were observed in the eyes in each experiment. Following the equilibration period, the fluorescein retention was measured. Baseline values were required to evaluate any potential test item related effect after treatment. All eyes were considered to be suitable for the assay.
NUMBER OF REPLICATES
Triplicates were used.
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED
Physiological Saline Solution
POSITIVE CONTROL USED
Powdered Imidazole
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME
30 mg of test item or 30 mg of powdered imidazole
OBSERVATION PERIOD
The control eyes and test eyes were evaluated pre-treatment and at approximately 30, 75, 120, 180 and 240 minutes after the post-treatment rinse
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Volume and washing procedure after exposure period: The time of application was observed, then after an exposure period of 10 seconds from the end of the application the cornea surface was rinsed throughly with 20 mL physiological saline at ambient temperature, taking care not to damage the cornea but attempting to remove all residual of the test item if possible.
Additional gentle rinsing with 20 mL saline was performed at each time point when the test item or positive control material remaining on the cornea was observed. The test item treated eyes were rinsed additional gentle rinsing with 3x20 mL saline after treatment in each experiment.
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: slit lamp microscope [Haag-Streit BP 900 slit lamp microscope, setting measurements with depth-measuring device no.I; slit-width setting: 9.5)
- Damage to epithelium based on fluorescein retention: 2% (w/v) fluorescein solution was applied onto the cornea surface for a few seconds and subsequently rinsed off with 20 mL physiological saline. Then the fluorescein- treated cornea was examined with a hand-held slit lamp or slit lamp microscope
- Swelling: measured on a slit-lamp microscope
- Macroscopic morphological damage to the surface: Morphological effects include “pitting” of corneal epithelial cells, “loosening” of epithelium, “roughening” of the corneal surface and “sticking” of the test substance to the cornea. These findings can vary in severity and may occur simultaneously. The classification of these findings is subjective according to the interpretation of the investigator.
- Others (e.g, histopathology): at the termination of the observation period, eyes were kept in neutral buffered formalin.

See attached tables 1 ,2 and 3 below
DECISION CRITERIA: The descision criteria used was the same as used in the OECD Guideline 438 method for ICE Assay

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Based on this in vitro eye irritation assay in the isolated chicken eyes with Sulfates of potassium, sodium and calcium, by-product from fermentation, the test item is not classified for eye irritation or serious eye damage according to GHS and CLP criteria.
- Executive summary:
The purpose of this GLP compliant study was to evaluate the potential eye irritation effect of the test substance when tested in an Isolated Chicken's Eye Assay (performed according to OECD 438 guideline method).
After the zero reference measurements, the eye was held in horizontal position and 30 mg of powered test item was applied onto the centre of the cornea such that the entire surface of the cornea was covered. After 10 seconds, the surface was rinsed with physiological saline. Positive control eyes were treated with 30 mg powdered Imidazole. The negative control eye was treated with 30 µL of physiological saline (0.9% (w/v) NaCl solution). In the study, three test item treated eyes, three positive control treated eyes and one negative control treated eye were examined.
The results from all eyes used in the study met the quality control standards. The negative control and positive control results were in good correlation with the historical control data. Thus, the experiment was considered to be valid.
Experiment I: No significant corneal swelling (mean ≤5%) was observed during the four-hour observation period on test item treated eyes. No significant cornea opacity change (severity 0.5) was observed on one eye. No fluorescein retention change was noted on three eyes. Test item was stuck on all cornea surfaces after the post-treatment rinse. The cornea surfaces were cleared at 30 minutes after the post-treatment rinse.
Experiment II: No significant corneal swelling (mean ≤5%) was observed during the four-hour observation period on test item treated eyes. No significant cornea opacity change (severity 0.5) was observed on one eye. No significant fluorescein retention change (severity 0.5) was noted on one eye. Test item was stuck on all cornea surfaces after the post-treatment rinse. The cornea surfaces were cleared at 30 minutes after the post-treatment rinse.
Based on this in vitro eye irritation assay in the isolated chicken eyes with Sulfates of potassium, sodium and calcium, by-product from fermentation, the test item is not classified for eye irritation or serious eye damage according to GHS and CLP criteria.
