AI/ML Overview

Here's a summary of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

Surface of Pressure Body – FlatnessANSI Z80.10-2018 A1.6Flat with a tolerance of 10 or fewer fringes over the 4-mm central diameterMet acceptance criteria

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Sample Size: Five samples of the CATS-L tonometer prisms were evaluated.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin. The study is described as "design verification bench testing," implying a prospective, controlled laboratory setting rather than retrospective patient data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

This information is not provided in the document. The testing described is bench testing against specified engineering standards, not a clinical study involving human experts establishing ground truth from patient data.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

This information is not applicable as the testing was bench testing against engineering standards, not a clinical study requiring expert adjudication of results.

5. 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:

A multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a tonometer prism, which is a physical accessory for measuring intraocular pressure, not an AI or imaging diagnostic tool. Therefore, the concept of human readers improving with AI assistance is not relevant to this device.

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

A standalone performance study of an algorithm was not done. This device is a physical medical device accessory, not a software algorithm. The "performance data" refers to bench testing of the physical properties against engineering standards.

7. The type of ground truth used:

The ground truth used was based on engineering standards specified in ANSI Z80.10-2018. Specifically, sections A1.1, A1.2, and A1.6 for various physical and optical properties of the tonometer prism.

8. The sample size for the training set:

This information is not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI or machine learning model that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

This information is not applicable as there is no training set for this device.

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.

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

{5}------------------------------------------------

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:

TestStandardAcceptance CriteriaResult
Area ofApplanationANSI Z80.10-2018A1.1Diameter of $3.06 \pm 0.02$ mmMet acceptance criteria

Surface ofPressure Body –FlatnessANSI Z80.10-2018A1.6Flat with a tolerance of 10 or fewer fringes over the 4-mm central diameterMet acceptance criteria

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.

{6}------------------------------------------------

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.

§ 886.1930 Tonometer and accessories.

(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)
Classification. Class II.
