Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Grading of ocular lesions was done according to a modified grading system, which is not described in the current OECD guideline 405. This is not considered a major drawback because this also an established and much-used method for the scoring of eye irritation.
- GLP compliance:
- no

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: irritating
- Conclusions:
- The test substance is irritating to the eyes of rabbits.
- Executive summary:
Under the conditions of the assay, the instillation of 0.1 mL of 5 % chlorhexidine gluconate into the eyes of rabbits caused irritation of the cornea, iris and conjunctiva. The test compound was severely irritating in non-rinsed eyes and mildly irritating in rinsed eyes. The irritating effect was reversible (rinsed).
