Disposable tonometer prism receives FDA clearance

The CATS-D disposable prism, a tip replacement for the Goldmann tonometer, has been cleared by the FDA, according to a press release from CATS Tonometer.

The tip has an ergonomic design and is designed to deliver more accurate IOP measurements, the release said. It will be available in the fall.

“As the only U.S. tonometer prism manufacturer, we believe the CATS tonometer prism, available in both reusable and disposable options, will quickly supplant a 60-year-old prism technology and become the new standard of care for IOP measurement for eye care clinicians (ophthalmology and optometry) and all patient populations,” Sean McCafferty, MD, CEO of CATS Tonometer, said in the release.
