Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight erythema was observed in one animal at reading time points 1 and 24 hours; at time point 1 hour only, the finding was further accompanied by lacrimation graded 2. In a further animal, slight erythema of grade 1 and lacrimation of grade 2 were reported for the 1 hour reading time point only. The third animal only showed lacrimation graded 2 at reading time point 1 hour.
