Eye irritation Test ^thfffflf^n Rabbits
SUMMARY
fBH"5 evaluated for acute eye Irritation potential In 2 rabbits.
The eyes of the rabbits were evaluated on the day of treatment and on days 1, 2, and 3 following treatment.
The test material produced no Irritation In the treated washed or unwashed eyes throughout the study. Huoresce+ft stalir examinations were
negative for corneal Injury In both treated eyes throughout the study.
L'-ider the conditions of this study,flflHH|was not an eye Irritant.

The purpose of this
was: to evaluate the acute eye Irritation

that significantly affecttA the validity of the study.
i mtERl^S AND NETHQPS
A. Animal Husbandry
Young adult female! New Zealand White rabbits were received from Hare Marland, Hewitt, New Jersey. The rabbits were housed singly In suspended, stainless steel, wire-mesh cages. Each rabbit was assigned a unique Identification hunber which was recorded on a card affixed to the cage. Purlna Certified High Fiber Rabbit Chow* f5325 and water were available ad Hot turn. [Rabbits were quarantined, weighed and observed for general health for approximately 2 weeks. Animal rooms were maintained on a timer-controlled, 12-hour Hght/12-hoyr dark cycle. Environmental conditions of the roomi were targeted for a temperature of 2Q-C. ^ 2'C and relative humidity of 502 + 101. Excursions outside these ranges were judged to have been of[Insufficient magnitude and/or duration to have adversely affected the;validity of the study.
B. Protocol
On the day prior to study Initiation, the eyes of 2 female New Zealand White rabbits were examined using Illumination, magnification, and fluorescein dye. these animals were selected for this study as they showed no evidence of ijireexisting cornea! or conjunctiva! Injury or Irritation and were judged to be In good health. The rabbits were
approximately 15 weeks,old and weighed 2918 and 2722 grams, respectively. on the day of treatment.

Each rabbit was observed for approximately 30 to 60 seconds before
being returned to Its cage and any abnormal behavior was noted. Approximately 1 and 4 hours, and 1, 2, and 3 days after--------was
administered, the rabbles were examined for evidence of eye Irritation.
At each of these observation periods, eyes were examined using Illumination and magnification and scored for ocular reactions using the Draize scale (presented'In Table 1). Eyes were also observed for any unusual responses to treatment such as pannus, blistering of the conjunctiva, ulceratlon or other effects Indicative of corrosive action. Blomlcroscopic and fluorescein stain examinations were also conducted at post-treatment days 1, ?, and 3. The eyes were scored according to the
metnoa bTcrasslTrcattoB presented InTibTe2. Control eyes were not
scored. These untreated eyes were used for comparison and were considered "normal" relative to the treated eye.
C. Records Retention
All raw data and the final report win be stored In the archives of
Haskell Laboratory for Toxicology and Industrial Medicine, E. I. du Pont
de Nemours and Company, Inc., Newark, Delaware or In the Du Pont Records Management Center, Wllmlngton, Delaware.
RESULTS
--------'produced no Irritation In either the washed or unwashed rabbit
eyes throughout the study. Fluorescein stain examinations were negative for corneal Injury and biomicroscopic examinations revealed no corneal Injury In
both treated eyes throughout the study. Individual eye irritation scores are
presented in Tables 3 and 4.
CONCLUSION
Under the conditions of this study, ^--------was not an eye irritant.
