No
The description focuses on automated alignment and air pressure control based on previous measurements and pulse synchronization, which are standard automated functions and do not indicate the use of AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training or test data.
No
The device is a non-contact tonometer used for measuring intraocular pressure, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.
Yes
The device measures intraocular pressure, which is a physiological parameter used to assess the health of the eye and diagnose conditions like glaucoma.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a main unit, measuring unit, base unit, screen, control panel, joystick, air nozzle, photo-detector, chinrest, and printer. It also describes physical interactions like applanating the cornea with air pressure.
Based on the provided information, the Nidek Model NT-4000 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Nidek Model NT-4000 directly measures intraocular pressure of the human eye using a non-contact method (air puff). It does not analyze any biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to measure intraocular pressure, which is a physical measurement of the eye, not an analysis of a biological sample.
Therefore, the Nidek Model NT-4000 falls under the category of an ophthalmic device used for direct measurement on the human body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Nidek Model NT-4000 non-contact tonometer optically detects the momentary state of the cornea (applanated by air pressure) and measures intraocular pressure without touching the cornea.
The Model NT-4000 is comprised of main unit and a measuring unit that are provided on a base unit. Each unit contains the following components:
- MAIN UNIT: A screen, control panel, and joystick are provided on this unit. .
- MEASURING UNIT: The air nozzle and photo-detector are provided on this unit. .
- BASE UNIT: The chinrest and a printer are provided on this unit. .
The Model NT-4000 has the following features:
-
- Auto Alignment Mode: When the measuring unit approaches the center of the pupil in this mode, the instrument automatically performs alignment in the up, down, left, and right directions, and focuses in the back and forth directions. The measurement then starts automatically.
-
- Automatic Puff Control (APC) Function: The intraocular pressure measurement can be performed with the air pressure as low as possible. When the measurement range is set to "APC 40" or "APC 60", in the first measurement, the automatic shut-off function (which is to stop puffing air as soon as the light reflected from the cornea is detected) activates in order to eliminate excessive puffing. In the subsequent measurement, the APC function activates to perform the measurement with the minimum air pressure based on the former measurement data. As the patient's eye is protected from excessive air pressure, the patient's comfort level increases and continuous measurement can be performed smoothly.
-
- Pulse Synchronized Intraocular Pressure Measurement: In addition to the standard IOP measurement mode, the intraocular pressure measurement can be performed in synchronization with an arbitrary position of the pulse signal that is obtained by the detector in the forehead rest. When the signals of the pulse and the completion of the alignment are detected simultaneously, the pulse synchronized IOP measurement is executed. It is possible to select the point of a pulse (i.e., either peak, middle, or bottom) to which measurement will be synchronized.

(a)
Identification. A tonometer and accessories is a manual device intended to measure intraocular pressure by applying a known force on the globe of the eye and measuring the amount of indentation produced (Schiotz type) or to measure intraocular tension by applanation (applying a small flat disk to the cornea). Accessories for the device may include a tonometer calibrator or a tonograph recording system. The device is intended for use in the diagnosis of glaucoma.(b)
