- (a)Identification. A diurnal pattern recorder system is a nonimplantable, prescription device incorporating a telemetric sensor to detect changes in ocular dimension for monitoring diurnal patterns of intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations.
- (b)Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:
- (1)Clinical performance data must demonstrate that the device and all of its components perform as intended under anticipated conditions of use. The following performance characteristics must be demonstrated:
- (2)Nonclinical testing must validate measurements in an appropriate nonclinical testing model to ensure ability to detect changes in intraocular pressure.
- (3)Patient-contacting components must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
- (4)Any component that is intended to contact the eye must be demonstrated to be sterile throughout its intended shelf life.
- (5)Software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed.
- (6)Performance testing must demonstrate the electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic interference of the device.
- (7)Performance testing must demonstrate electrical safety of the device.
- (8)Labeling must include the following:
- (i)Warning against activities and environments that may put the user at greater risk.
- (ii)Specific instructions for the safe use of the device, which includes:
- (A)Description of all device components and instructions for assembling the device;
- (B)Explanations of all available programs and instructions for their use;
- (C)Instructions and explanation of all user-interface components;
- (D)Instructions on all safety features of the device; and
- (E)Instructions for properly maintaining the device.
- (iii)A summary of nonclinical testing information to describe EMC safety considerations.
- (iv)A summary of safety information obtained from clinical testing.
- (v)Patient labeling to convey information regarding appropriate use of device.
