Intended Use
The CATS-L® Tonometer Prism is intended to be used with Goldmann type tonometers for the measurement of intraocular pressure of the human eye.
Device Description
The CATS-L Tonometer Prism is used as an optical image prism for Goldmann applanation style tonometers. The CATS-L prism is made of PMMA, the corneal contact diameter is 6.28 mm, and the total length of the prism is 29.28 mm.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and optical function of a tonometer prism, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms, training data, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML.

No
The device is used for measurement and diagnosis, not for treatment or therapy.

Yes
The device is described as being used "for the measurement of intraocular pressure of the human eye," which is a diagnostic function to assess a medical condition (e.g., glaucoma risk).

No

The device description explicitly states the device is a physical prism made of PMMA, indicating it is a hardware component, not software.

Based on the provided information, the CATS-L® Tonometer Prism 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.
  • CATS-L Function: The CATS-L Tonometer Prism is a device used in contact with the human eye to measure intraocular pressure. It is an optical component that facilitates the measurement, not a test performed on a biological sample.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "measurement of intraocular pressure of the human eye," which is a direct measurement on the living body, not an in vitro test.

Therefore, the CATS-L Tonometer Prism falls under the category of a medical device used for direct measurement on a patient, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Omid Khodai:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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

Product Code:HKY
Regulation Number:21 CFR 886.1930

Predicate Devices:

Predicate Device: CATS-R Tonometer Prism K173904 Reference Device: GOLDEN VISION (Goldmann) Manual Tonometer K981432.

Device Description:

The CATS-L Tonometer Prism is used as an optical image prism for Goldmann applanation style tonometers. The CATS-L prism is made of PMMA, the corneal contact diameter is 6.28 mm, and the total length of the prism is 29.28 mm.

Indications for Use:

The CATS-L® Tonometer Prism is intended to be used with Goldmann type tonometers for the measurement of intraocular pressure of the human eye.

Performance Data:

Five samples of the CATS-L tonometer prisms were evaluated. The test protocol is defined in VP23-001 and the results are reported in the design verification protocol and report. The results are shown in the table below:

Substantial Equivalence:

The claim of substantial equivalence to the previously cleared device is supported by the following comparison of characteristics in Table 1 and bench testing. Therefore, the CATS-L Tonometer Prism is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices to the CATS-R Tonometer Prism K173904 and the GOLDEN VISION (Goldmann) Manual Tonometer K981432.

As is shown below in the table, the only difference between the subject device and the predicate device CATS-R Tonometer Prism K173904 is the shape of the prism's ocular contacting surface, minor dimensional differences and the model letter molded into the housing. Shape of the corneal contact surface and dimensions are the same as the other predicate device GOLDEN VISION (Goldmann) Manual Tonometer K981432. Both devices function the same on a tonometer instrument. Model letter molded on the housing serves a cosmetic purpose only.

Design verification bench testing consists of comparing measurements made with the subject tonometer prism design on a reference model eye and demonstrates that measurements meet the requirements of the ANSI Z80.10-2018 Tonometers, Annex A, Reference Tonometers.

Biocompatibility of a product is affected by the materials used in the device and in the manufacturing processes, and both the predicate device CATS-R and the subject device CATS-L are manufactured of the exact same materials and assembled using the same process.

All three parts of the subject and predicate device, the Prism, the Housing, and the Back Plate are manufactured of PMMA, specifically Chimei Acryrex CM-211. The housing has a black colorant added to the Acryrex CM-211. The parts are laser welded together using extra plastic molded on the Housing interface surfaces. The final mass of each device has the same specification, so there is the same amount of material in each device.

The welded tonometer prism is packaged non-sterile, along with labeling into a small cardboard box. This packaging is the same for both CATS-L, subject device and CATS-R, predicate device. There is no cleaning or disinfecting of the assembled device prior to packaging.

Biocompatibility testing of the predicate device CATS-R device was previously completed and all tests indicated that the device, as manufactured, successfully passed the required testing. Since the subject device CATS-L is manufactured of the same materials using the same manufacturing processes, and packaged in the same packaging (with exception of the labeling model image and details on the box), the results of the biocompatibility testing of the predicate device CATS-R can be safely applied to the subject device CATS-L.

Shelf-life of a product is driven by the materials of the device, the manufacturing process and the other materials used in the processing of the product. A review of Table 1 below, demonstrates that the subject device CATS-L and predicate device CATS-R are essentially the same except for the shape of the prism's ocular contacting surface, dimensional differences and the model letter molded into the Housing. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the shelf-life testing that was completed on the predicate device CATS-R tonometer prism can be applied to the subject device CATS-L device.
