Test animals / tissue source
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- not further specified
Test system
- Vehicle:
- water
- Controls:
- yes, concurrent vehicle
- yes, concurrent positive control
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 0.1 mL of a 5% (w/w) solution
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- single application / not rinsed
- Observation period (in vivo):
- up to 1 week
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 6 per group
- Details on study design:
- Prior to application, both eyes of each rabbit were macroscopically examined to select healthy rabbits with eyes that were free from disease and injury in the cornea, iris and conjunctivae. The animals were then assigned to 3 groups: vehicle control (distilled water for injection), test item (5% solution) and positive control (5% SLS solution). On the day of application, each rabbit was restricted using an animal holder, and 0.1 mL of the test solution was applied using a disposable syringe to the right eye by pulling the lower eyelid into a cup-shape. Both eyelids were held together for two to three seconds following application. The left eye was designated the non-treatment control. The cornea, iris, conjunctivae and discharge were evaluated using the Draize scale 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours, and one week following application.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2B (mildly irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of this study it was assessed that a 5% w/w solution of the test item was mildly irritating to rabbit eyes.
- Executive summary:
In a primary eye irritation study with rabbits, the test item was evaluated using the Draize scale and classified using the Kay and Calandra classification criteria. Slight to mild opacity ranging from less than a quarter to the whole of the cornea, congestion in the iris, mild to moderate redness of the conjunctivae, slight to definite swelling, and mild to severe discharge were observed 24 hours following administration of a 5% (w/w) solution. The irritations subsided with time, and the only irritation that was observed one week following administration was mild redness of the conjunctivae, which was observed in three cases. Based on the results of this study it was assessed that a 5% (w/w) solution of the test item was mildly irritating to rabbit eyes.
