Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: Left eye of each rabbit remained untreated and served as a control.
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
One single application
Observation period (in vivo):
72 hours
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 female rabbits
Details on study design:
0.1 ml of FAT 20242/E was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each animal after gently pulling away the lower lid from the eyeball.
The lids were then held together for about one second in order to prevent loss of the test material. The left eye was kept untreated and served as a control.
The animals were checked daily for systemic symptoms and mortality.

The ocular reactions were evaluated 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after the instillation of FAT 20242/E according to the OECD scoring system.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: A slit-lamp was used to facilitate the evaluation.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Cornea and conjunctiva of the treated eye of animals No. 66 and 67 and the cornea of animal No. 68 were blue-stained (substance-related) one hour after the application of the test compound.

Because of maximal opacity of the cornea in animals No. 66 and 67, the evaluation of possible iris reactions was impeded.

FAT 20242/E induced maximal irritant effects in animals No. 66 and 67 which were expected not be reversible within 21 days. The animals were sacrificed for protective reasons 72 hours after instillation of the test compound.
Other effects:
None

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
FAT 20242/E is concluded to pose risk of serious damage to eyes.
Executive summary:

An acute eye irritation/corrosion study was performed to determine the irritant or corrosive potency of FAT 20242/E. This test was conducted based on the OECD Guideline No. 405. The substance was tested undiluted to determine the irritant potency on 3 female rabbit eyes.

0.1 ml of FAT 20242/E was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each animal, after gently pulling away the lower lid from the eyeball. The lids were then held together for about one second in order to prevent loss of the test material. The left eye remained untreated and served as a control.

Cornea and conjunctiva of the treated eye of animals No. 66 and 67 and the cornea of animal No. 68 were blue-stained (substance-related) one hour after the application of the test compound. Because of maximal opacity of the cornea in animals No. 66 and 67, the evaluation of possible iris reactions was impeded. FAT 20242/E induced maximal irritant effects in animals No. 66 and 67 which were expected not be reversible within 21 days. The animals were sacrificed for animal protective reasons 72 hours after instillation of the test compound. Hence it can be concluded that, under the experimental conditions employed, FAT 20242/E induced strong irritation of the cornea and conjunctiva. The test compound possess the risk of serious damage to the eyes
