Intended Use
The iCare Tonometer TA01i is intended to be used for the measurement of intraocular pressure of the human eye.
Device Description
The iCare Tonometer TA01i is a portable, handheld, battery operated tonometer, which measures intraocular pressure (IOP). To measure IOP, a very light (26.5 mg) and a slow moving (0.25-0.30 m/s) probe makes momentary contact with the cornea of the eye. The device measures the speed of the probe during the time probe is in contact with cornea. Resulting IOP is displayed on a liquid crystal display (LCD). The force used for the measurement which is directed onto the eye is extremely small, because of the low weight and slow speed of the probe.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical mechanism of measurement and does not mention any computational or algorithmic processing indicative of AI/ML.

No
The device is used for measurement (diagnosis) and does not provide therapy.

Yes

Explanation: The device measures intraocular pressure, which is a physiological parameter used to diagnose conditions like glaucoma.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "portable, handheld, battery operated tonometer" and describes physical components like a probe, battery, and LCD, indicating it is a hardware device with embedded software, not a software-only medical device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to examine these samples outside of the body ("in vitro").
  • Device Function: The iCare Tonometer TA01i measures intraocular pressure by making momentary contact with the cornea of the eye. This is a direct measurement taken on the living body ("in vivo"), not on a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to measure intraocular pressure of the human eye, which is a physical measurement of a physiological parameter within the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the iCare Tonometer TA01i is a medical device, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The performance of iCare Tonometer TA01i has been evaluated in bench testing. The units under test met the acceptance criteria of the operating range, accuracy and repeatability.

In clinical evaluation, the performance of iCare Tonometer TA01i was compared to predicate devices, including Goldmann type tonometer.

Based on the results of non-clinical and clinical testing, the performance of iCare Tonometer TA01i is judged to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices. The patient contacting probe is considered biocompatible. The appropriate tests for biocompatibility were performed according to "ISO 10993-1:2003, Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1 Evaluation and Testing".

The electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety of the iCare Tonometer TA01i was tested and found to conform to the requirements of IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2.

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA), You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
