- SOURCE OF COLLECTED EYES
- Source: TARAVIS KFT. 9600 Sárvár, Rábasömjéni út 129. Hungary
- Storage, temperature and transport conditions of ocular tissue: Head collection was performed by a slaughter house technician. Heads were removed immediately after sedation of the chickens (sedation was happened by electric current). The heads were transported at the earliest convenience for use approximately within 2 hours from collection. The ambient temperature was optimal (19.4 ºC to 20.2 ºC) during the transport. All eyes used in the assay were from the same groups of eyes collected on one specific day.
- Time interval prior to initiating testing: 2 h
- Indication of any existing defects or lesions in ocular tissue samples: After collection, the heads were inspected for appropriate quality and wrapped with paper moistened with saline, then placed in a plastic box that can be closed (4-5 heads/box).

- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF ISOLATED EYES:
With the eyes still in the chicken heads, eyelids were carefully cut away with scissors from the chicken eyes. One small drop of fluorescein solution 2 % (w/v) was applied onto the cornea surface for a few seconds and then rinsed off with 20 mL isotonic saline. The fluorescein-treated cornea was examined with a hand-held slit lamp or a slit lamp microscope. If the cornea was in good condition, the eyeball was carefully removed from the orbit by holding the nictitating membrane with a surgical forceps, while cutting the eye muscles with bent scissors without cutting off the optical nerve too short. The procedure avoided pressure on the eye, which may lead to 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 to maintain the appropriate humidity.
EQUILIBRATION AND BASELINE RECORDINGS
The prepared eye was placed in a stell clamp with the cornea positioned vertically with the eye in the correct relative position (same position as in the chicken head), again avoiding too much pressure on the eye. Because of the relatively firm sclera of the chicken eyeball, only slight pressure was applied to fix the eye properly. The clamp was transferred to a chamber of the superfusion apparatus. The clamp holding the eye was positioned in such a way that the entire cornea was supplied with saline solution dripping from a stainless steel tube, at a rate of approx. 3 to 5 drops/min. The door of the chamber was closed, except for manipulations and examination, to maintain temperature and humidity.
Eyes selected for testing were again examined with the slit lamp microscope to ensure that they were in good condition. Eyes with a high baseline fluorescein staining (i.e. > 0.5) or corneal opacity score (i.e. > 0.5) were rejected. Any eye with cornea thickness deviating more than 10 % from the mean value for all eyes, or eyes that showed any other signs of damage, were rejected and replaced.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Volume and washing procedure after exposure period: Thorough rinsing with approx. 20 mL saline solution at ambient temperature after 10 seconds of treatment. Imidazole and test item were stuck on the corneas’ surface in all eyes at 30 minutes after the post-treatment rinse. The gentle rinsing with 20 mL saline was performed in all Imidazole treated eyes after the 30, 75, 120 and 180 minutes of observation, but cornea surfaces were not totally cleared at 240 minutes after the post-treatment rinse. The gentle rinsing with 20 mL saline was performed in all (three eyes) test item treated eyes after the 30, 75 and 120 of observation. All test item treated eyes were totally cleared at 180 minutes after the post-treatment rinse.
- Indicate any deviation from test procedure in the Guideline: none
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: Opacity scores ranging from 0 (no opacity) to 4 (complete opacity; iris invisible) according to the test guideline were measured at all time points
- Damage to epithelium based on fluorescein retention: Fluorescein retention scores ranging from 0 - 3 according to the test guideline were measured at 0 and 30 min.
- Swelling: Cornea thickness was measured using the depth measuring device on the slit lamp microscope (Haag-Strei BQ 900) with the slit-width set at 9.5, i.e. 0.095mm.
- Macroscopic morphological damage to the surface: not applicable
- Others (e.g, histopathology): not performed
SCORING SYSTEM:
Following scores were measured accoring to test guideline
- Mean corneal swelling (%)
- Mean maximum opacity score
- Mean fluorescein retention score at 30 minutes post-treatment
DECISION CRITERIA: Decision criteria as indicated in the TG were used.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Conclusions:
- In this in vitro eye corrosive and severe irritant study, using the Isolated Chicken Eye model with the test item, no ocular corrosion or severe irritation potential was observed. The overall ICE score was 1xI, 2xII.
- Executive summary:
A Isolated Chicken Eye Test (ICET) according to OECD 438 was conducted to evaluate the potential ocular corrosivity and irritancy of the test item by its ability to induce toxicity in enucleated chicken eyes. The test item was applied in a single dose (30 mg/eye) onto the cornea of isolated chicken eyes and rinsed after 10 seconds with saline. Tested corneas were evaluated pre-treatment and at approximately 30, 75, 120, 180, and 240 minutes after the post-treatment rinse. The endpoints evaluated were corneal opacity, swelling, fluorescein retention, and morphological effects. All of the endpoints, with the exception of fluorescein retention (which was determined only at pre-treatment and 30 minutes after test substance exposure) were determined at each of the above time points. Imidazole (positive control) was ground before use in the study. The test item and positive control were applied in an amount of 30 mg/eye by powdering the entire surface of the cornea attempting to cover the cornea surface uniformly with the test substance or positive control. Three test item treated eyes and three positive control eyes were used in this study. One negative control eye was treated with 30 μL saline solution. After an exposure period of 10 seconds from the end of the application the cornea surface was rinsed thoroughly with approximately 20 mL saline solution at ambient temperature and this procedure was repeated for each eye.
In this ICET, the test item did not cause ocular corrosion or severe irritation in the enucleated chicken eyes. The overall ICE class was 1xI, 2xII.
Positive and negative controls showed the expected results. The experiment was considered to be valid.
According to the guideline OECD 438, the test items overall in vitro classification is neither UN GHS Classification Category I (an ocular corrosive or severe eye irritant) nor No Category. Thus, according to the guideline OECD 438, the test item has been categorized as “No prediction can be made”.
