The CATS Tonometer™ Prism is intended to be used with Goldmann type tonometers for the measurement of intraocular pressure.
Device Story
CATS Tonometer Prism is an optical accessory for Goldmann applanation tonometers; used by clinicians to measure intraocular pressure (IOP). Device modifies standard Goldmann prism by replacing flat contact surface with curved (concave-convex) surface and adjusting length. During clinical use, prism contacts cornea; applanation force is converted to IOP reading (1.0 g = 10 mmHg). Curved surface design aims to improve measurement accuracy compared to traditional flat prisms. Device is used in clinical settings; provides objective IOP data to assist physicians in diagnosing or monitoring ocular conditions like glaucoma.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evaluation performed per ANSI Z80.10-2014 and FDA guidance. Study compared CATS Tonometer Prism to reference GAT prism in an adult population. Primary endpoint was accuracy of IOP measurement (success criteria: ±5 mmHg difference). Results showed no statistically significant difference in IOP measurements or inter/intra-operator repeatability between CATS and GAT prisms. All paired differences met tolerance levels across specified pressure ranges (7-16, >16-23, and ≥23 mmHg).
Indicated for use with Goldmann type tonometers to measure intraocular pressure in adult patients.
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.

#### 4. Device Name:
| Trade/Proprietary Name: | CATS Tonometer™ Prism |

#### ട്. Predicate Devices:
The CATS Tonometer prism is substantially equivalent in terms of intended use and technological characteristics to the GOLDEN VISION (Goldmann) Manual Tonometer (K981432).
#### 6. Device Description:
The CATS Tonometer™ Prism is used as an optical image prism for Goldmann applanation style tonometers. It is a modification of the standard Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (GAT) prism, with the only alteration being the modification of the flat surface in the GAT to a curved surface and a compensatory lengthening in the CATS prism. The CATS prism is made of PMMA, the corneal contact diameter is 7 mm and the total length of the prism is 30 mm.
#### 7. Indications for Use:
The CATS Tonometer™ Prism is intended to be used with Goldmann type tonometers for the measurement of intraocular pressure.
{4}------------------------------------------------
#### 8. Performance Data:
## Non-Clinical Data
Design verification testing, , which consisted of optical and mechanical tests, demonstrated that the CATS Tonometer™ Prism met the design requirements articulated in ANSI Z80.10-2014. Bench testing was also performed in accordance with both ANSI Z80.10, Ophthalmic Instruments - Tonometers and FDA Guidance (March 27, 2006): Tonometers - Premarket Notification [510(k)] Submissions using human cadaver eyes. The primary purpose of this study was to statistically demonstrate that the null hypothesis is valid as far as the difference in IOP measurements between the CATS Tonometer™ Prism and the Goldmann (GAT) tonometer prism in accuracy and repeatability. The study indicated that the accuracy and both inter-operator as well as intra-operator repeatability met or exceeded the performance requirements of the reference GAT tonometer.
## Clinical Data
The CATS Tonometer™ Prism was clinically evaluated in accordance with both ANSI Z80.10-2014, Ophthalmic Instruments - Tonometers and FDA Guidance (March 27, 2006): Tonometers - Premarket Notification 510(k) Submissions. The primary performance endpoint was accuracy of IOP measurement readings, as measured by applanation tonometry. The success criteria for the primary endpoint was that the CATS tonometer prism measurements to be within ± 5 mmHg of the GAT tonometer prism measurements. No more than 5% of the paired differences between the reference tonometer (CATS prism) and the test tonometer (GAT prism) readings for each pressure range, would be greater than the tolerance levels:
| IOP range (mmHg) | Tolerance of paired<br>differences (mmHg) |
|------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| 7 to 16 | ±5 |
| >16 to < 23 | ±5 |
| ≥23 | ±5 |
The study population included adult population with a balanced distribution in sex and age. No statistically significant difference in IOP measurement was observed between the CATS tonometer prism and the reference GAT tonometer prism. No statistically significant difference in IOP measurement repeatability was observed between the CATS tonometer prism and the reference GAT tonometer prism with respect to inter-operator, intra-operator, as well as lot repeatability.
## Conclusion
Based upon the non-clinical and clinical testing performed, the CATS Tonometer Prism is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device. A comparison of the CATS Tonometer Prism and the predicate device is presented in Table 1.
{5}------------------------------------------------
#### 9. Substantial Equivalence:
The claim of substantial equivalence to the previously cleared GOLDEN VISION (Goldmann) Manual Tonometer (K981432) is supported by the following comparison of characteristics in Table 1 and non-clinical and clinical performance data. Therefore, the CATS Tonometer Prism is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
