Intended Use
The MENTOR TONO-PEN 3 is used to measure the intraocular pressure (IOP) during routine eye examination or when an increased IOP is suspected.
Device Description
The MENTOR TONO-PEN 3 is a precision electronic tonometer which measures intraocular pressure [IOP]. The body of the instrument is specially designed to fit comfortably in the user's hand, facilitating fast and accurate measurements. TONO-PEN 3 contains an elemental silicon strain gage which converts intraocular pressure to an electrical signal. The pen displays each valid reading on a liquid crystal display [LCD]. When four valid readings are obtained, a mean IOP reading and an indication of reliability are shown on the LCD. The TONO-PEN 3 has a molded plastic tip which must be covered by a latex protective membrane. MENTOR Ocu-Film Tip covers are recommended.

No
The description focuses on a strain gage converting pressure to an electrical signal and calculating a mean from four readings, which are standard electronic and statistical functions, not indicative of AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms, nor any description of training or test data sets.

No.
The document states that the device measures intraocular pressure during routine eye examinations or when increased IOP is suspected, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device is used to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) during routine eye examinations or when an increased IOP is suspected, which aids in the detection and monitoring of eye conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "precision electronic tonometer" with a physical body, a strain gage, an LCD display, and a molded plastic tip, indicating it is a hardware device with embedded software, not a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, the MENTOR TONO-PEN 3 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.
  • MENTOR TONO-PEN 3 Function: The MENTOR TONO-PEN 3 directly measures intraocular pressure (IOP) within the eye. It does not analyze a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to measure IOP during eye examinations, which is a direct measurement on the patient, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, the MENTOR TONO-PEN 3 is a medical device used for direct measurement on a patient, not an in vitro diagnostic 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.
