## Indications for Use

The Ocular Force Gauge is indicated for applying measured force to the surface of the eye.

## Device Story

Ocular Force Gauge is a non-sterile, reusable, manual precision spring-scale instrument; used to apply measured force to the ocular surface. Device features a smooth 'foot' contact surface similar to an ophthalmodynamometer. Operated by clinicians in an ophthalmic setting. Device provides mechanical force application; no electronic or automated processing. Benefits include controlled, measured force application to the eye. Device is cleaned and sterilized via gravity steam sterilization (autoclave).

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Comparative study between Ocular Force Gauge and Ophthalmodynamometer using an Instron load cell at 1.0 inch/minute to 1.0 ounce force. All samples met pre-determined specifications for foot surface and compressive force. Cytotoxicity testing performed per ISO 10993-5 with passing results.

## Technological Characteristics

Manual, non-sterile, reusable ophthalmic instrument. Constructed of medical-grade metal. Principle of operation: precision spring-scale for force application. Sterilization: gravity steam sterilization (autoclave) per ISO 17665-1. Biocompatibility: ISO 10993-1 and ISO 10993-5. Packaging: ISTA 1A 2001.

## Regulatory 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.

## Predicate Devices

- Ophthalmodynamometer (Pre-amendment device)

#### D. Indication for Use:

The Ocular Force Gauge is indicated for applying measured force to the surface of the eye.

#### E. Device Description:

The Ocular Force Gauge is a non-sterile, reusable, precision spring-scale manual instrument designed and manufactured to apply measured force to the surface of the eye. The hand held device has a smooth "foot" similar to the "foot" of an opthalmodynamometer, an instrument used to apply and measure force on the ocular surface. The Ocular Force Gauge "foot" is the surface of the device that contacts the ocular surface.

{1}------------------------------------------------

### F. Predicate Device(s) Reference:

The Ocular Force Gauge was shown to be substantially equivalent in intended use, principle of operation, and technological characteristics to the legally marketed predicate device, the Ophthalmodynamometer.

#### G. Performance Data:

In vitro preclinical tests were performed to verify and validate the safety and effectiveness of the Ocular Force Gauge and assure substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The Ocular Force Gauge and the Ophthalmodynamometer are both reusable, ophthalmic instruments manufactured from medical grade metal with equivalent operating principles and intended use.

A study evaluating and comparing the Ophthalmodynamometer to the Ocular Force Gauge was performed. Two bench top tests were used to evaluate and compare the foot surface and the ability to apply force for each device. The test samples were loaded one at a time into the lower jaws of an Instron and depressed into the anvil at a rate of 1.0 Inch/Minute. When the load cell reached a force of 1.0 ounce the test ended. The maximum load and extension were recorded, and the jaws returned to the starting position. The foot of each instrument was visually inspected to ensure a smooth surface with no defect or debris in between repetitions of the force testing. All samples met pre-determined specifications for both the foot surface and compressive force.

Ocular Therapeutix completed with passing results a confirmatory cytotoxicty test on the Ocular Force Gauge per ISO 10993-5, Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity.

The Ocular Force Gauge is a reusable, manual ophthalmic instrument that is supplied non-sterile. A cleaning and sterilization was performed on the Ocular Force Gauge demonstrating the device is able to be sterilized by gravity steam sterilization (autoclave) to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 1 x 10to.

### H. Standards

The Ocular Force Gauge has been designed to comply with the following voluntary standards.

Dear Mr. Ankerud:

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 (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. 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.
