The Keeler Applanation Tonometer is indicated for measuring intraocular pressure to aid in the screening and diagnosis of Glaucoma.
Device Story
Digital Keeler Applanation Tonometer (D-KAT) is a slit-lamp mounted, battery-powered screening device for measuring intraocular pressure (IOP). It utilizes the Goldmann applanation method; a sterile prism is placed against the cornea; the clinician adjusts a rotating measurement drum to flatten a 3.06mm area of the cornea; opposing forces of corneal rigidity and tear film are balanced. Unlike the manual predicate, the D-KAT incorporates an internal mechanism to monitor the measurement arm position relative to the drum, calculating IOP and presenting it on an LED display. Used by clinicians in clinical settings to aid in glaucoma diagnosis. Benefits include improved readability of IOP measurements compared to traditional analog dials.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing performed to verify measurement force and accuracy in accordance with ISO 8612:2009. Usability testing conducted by healthcare professionals comparing the D-KAT to the predicate device. Device demonstrated compliance with IEC 60601-1 (electrical safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), and ISO 10993-1 (biocompatibility).
Technological Characteristics
Slit-lamp mounted contact tonometer; Goldmann applanation principle; powered by single AA battery; LED digital display. Measurement range 5-65mmHg; measurement deviation ±0.49mN (~0.5mmHg) or 1.5%. Software-based monitoring of measurement arm position relative to rotating drum. Complies with ISO 8612:2009, IEC 60601-1, and IEC 60601-1-2.
Indications for Use
Indicated for measuring intraocular pressure to aid in the screening and diagnosis of Glaucoma in patients requiring such assessment.
Regulatory Classification
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.

3. 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.

Verification tests have been carried out to confirm that the performance and safety aspects of the modified Digital Keeler Applanation Tonometer (D-KAT) are comparable with the Keeler Applanation Tonometer cleared for marketing under 510(k) K093445. The results demonstrated that the modified D-KAT was substantially equivalent in relation to performance, usability and safety to the aforementioned predicate device.
With respect to performance of the modified tonometer, bench testing using a balance system was carried to verify the measuring force was in accordance with Section A2 of ISO 8612:2009, Ophthalmic Instruments - Tonometers.
Usability tests have also been conducted by healthcare professionals, where comparisons were made against the predicate device (K093445).
In accordance with the Keeler Software Quality Plan, the software used in the modified D-KAT has been verified against design requirements and finally released, as required by IEC 62304 Medical device software - Software life cvcle processes.
In addition to the above testing activities, Keeler has conducted assessment and/or testing to the following standards to further reinforce the safety and effectiveness of the modified D-KAT:
