Study Details:
The provided document describes verification tests and compliance with various standards to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device, rather than a clinical study with human readers and AI.
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a number of patients or cases. The performance validation was conducted through "bench testing using a balance system" and "usability tests."
- Data Provenance: Bench testing would be laboratory data. Usability tests were conducted by healthcare professionals, implying an in-situ or simulated clinical environment. No specific country of origin is mentioned for the data, but the manufacturer is Keeler Instruments Inc. in the USA. The data is likely prospective for these validation tests.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- For the bench testing, the "ground truth" was established by applying "known pressures covering the measurement range" using calibration bars verified according to ISO 8612:2009. This relies on the accuracy of the calibration system rather than human experts.
- For the usability tests, "healthcare professionals" were involved, but their number and specific qualifications (beyond being healthcare professionals) are not detailed. Their role was to compare the D-KAT against the predicate device, not necessarily to establish ground truth for IOP measurements.
-
Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable. The primary performance evaluation was bench testing against a standard, not a scenario requiring adjudication between human readers or device outputs.
-
If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This document describes a medical device (tonometer) with a digital display, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool requiring MRMC studies to compare human reader performance with and without AI assistance.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: The device itself is an "algorithm only" in the sense that the software processes the raw measurement to display the IOP. The "bench testing using a balance system" is a form of standalone performance evaluation for the device's accuracy in measuring force/pressure, conforming to the ISO standard.
-
The type of ground truth used:
- For measurement performance: The "known pressures" provided by a calibrated balance system, verified against ISO 8612:2009.
- For usability: Comparison against the predicate device by healthcare professionals. No objective "ground truth" for usability is described, rather a subjective comparison.
-
The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. The device is a measurement instrument, not an AI model that requires a training set in the conventional sense. The "software uses information stored / programmed during the factory setup / calibration" which could be considered akin to a "training" or calibration phase, but it's not a data-driven machine learning training set.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable, as there is no training set in the typical machine learning context. The calibration information for the device's setup is established during "factory setup / calibration" by applying "known pressures" and relating them to the rotating measuring drum's position, as outlined in ISO 8612:2009.

Trade Name:
Common/Usual Name: T-Type KAT, R-Type KAT Classification Name: Tonometer and Accessories 886.1930 Regulation No: Device Requlatory Class: ============================================================================================================================================================================== Review Panel: Ophthalmic Product Code: HKY Premarket Notification (510(k)) Number: K093445
- Proposed Modification
The proposed modification described in this Traditional 510(k) covers the introduction of a digital variant to the current Keeler Applanation Tonometer (KAT) range. This modification is intended to provide an addition to the Keeler Applanation Tonometers product range.
(KAT)
Keeler Applanation Tonometer
In applanation tonometry the intraocular pressure (IOP) is calculated from the force required to flatten a constant area of the cornea. Goldmann tonometry is considered to be the gold standard test and is the most widely accepted method in current practice.
The new digital variant of the KAT uses the same operating principle found in all Goldmann type tonometers.
The internal mechanism of the KAT has been modified to permit the measured IOP to be read on an LED display. The LED display allows for easy reading by the user rather than reading from the dial as is currently the case with standard Goldmann tonometers.
{1}------------------------------------------------
thatmir Instruments
The intended use of the Digital Keeler Applanation Tonometer (D-KAT) as well as the method used by the clinician to obtain a reading remains unchanged by this modification.
4. Device Description
The Digital Keeler Applanation Tonometer is a screening device used to measure intraocular pressure which is one of the factors considered in diagnosing glaucoma. The product is an active medical device, powered by a single AA battery. The operation principal is based on Goldmann applanation method.
The Indications for Use, Operating principles, measurement accuracy and repeatability are the same as the predicate device. The device is used in conjunction with commercially available Slit lamps and can be used with the same mounting options as predicate device.
The D-KAT uses the same Applanation Prisms as the predicate Keeler Applanation Tonometer.
Method of Operation
In applanation tonometry the intraocular pressure is calculated from the force required to flatten a constant area of the cornea. Goldmann tonometry is considered to be the qold standard test and is the most widely accepted method in current practice.
The Digital Keeler Applanation Tonometer functions in accordance with the 'Goldmann method' i.e. the measuring of pressure to maintain a uniform i applanation of the surface of the eye.
A disinfected or sterile disposable applanation prism is mounted on the Tonometer head at the end of the measurement arm and then placed against the cornea. The examiner then uses a cobalt blue filter to view two green semi circles, known as mires. The force applied to the Tonometer head is then adjusted using the rotating measurement drum connected to a variable tension spring until the inner edges of the green mires in the viewfinder meet. When an area of 3.06mm has been flattened, the opposing forces of corneal rigidity and the tear film are roughly approximate and cancel each other out allowing the pressure in the eye to be determined from the force applied.
The intraocular pressure is presented on the digital display.
The D-KAT is used in coniunction with commercially available Slit Lamos and can be used with the same mounting options as the predicate devices.
{2}------------------------------------------------
almir Instruments
Calibration
During factory setup / calibration known pressures covering the measurement range are applied to the measurement arm using calibration bars verified using the calibration procedure outlined in the Tonometer standard ISO 8612:2009.
Calibration provides a relationship between the pressure applied to the measurement arm and the position of the rotating measuring drum. Linear interpolation is used between the calibration points.
It should be noted that whilst the D-KAT has a Digital read-out that can indicate decimal point measurement, it is not intended to imply higher accuracy. The D-KAT instrument has been validated to a measurement deviation of ±0.49mN (~0.5mmHg) or 1.5%, whichever is greater, in accordance with the above standard.
Software
The software uses information stored / programmed during the factory setup / calibration to monitor the position of the measurement arm against the position of the rotating measuring drum to determine the patients IOP, which is displayed to the user on the LED display.
5. Labelling and Intended Use
Instructions for use (IFU) for the applanation tonometer have been updated to incorporate the use of the digital interface.
The intended use of the Digital Keeler Applanation Tonometer (D-KAT) as well as the method used by the clinician to obtain a reading remains unchanged by this modification.
"The Keeler Applanation Tonometer is indicated for measuring intraocular pressure to aid in the screening and diagnosis of Glaucoma."
Materials Biocompatibility 6.
With respect to material that comes into direct contact intentionally with the eve, there are no changes.
Cleaning and Disinfection 7.
Cleaning instructions for the tonometer body and the recommended method for disinfecting applanation prisms remains unchanged.
Instructions have been provided in the Instructions for use.
8. Comparison of the device with the Predicate
The comparison table below summarizes the similarities and differences between both systems, with respect to safety and effectiveness, which are discussed in more detail in the following sections.
