Description
Objective tear osmolarity, in a handheld pen
The ScoutPro Osmolarity System is an automated, handheld device that collects and analyzes a single tear sample and reports a quantitative osmolarity value (mOsm/L) on its screen in seconds. It aids in the diagnosis of dry eye disease, used alongside other clinical evaluation, and gives your team an objective measure of tear film stability at the start of the exam.
Why practices choose it
- Collection and analysis in one. No docking. The pen draws the sample and shows the result.
- Tiny sample. Tests on a 50 nanoliter sample, so it reads even very dry eyes.
- Fast, with memory. Results appear in seconds, and the pen recalls your last two test results.
- Trusted precision. 1.5 percent coefficient of variation for tear osmolarity, and 95 percent analytical accuracy compared with a standard laboratory osmometer (Instructions for Use).
- TearLab compatible. Test cards are interchangeable with the first-generation TearLab Osmolarity System.
- Practical hardware. Rechargeable AAA batteries hold about 8 hours of charge, and the charging base has a small footprint with an optional wall mount.
What is included
ScoutPro handheld pen and charging base. Osmolarity test cards and control solutions are sold separately.
Reimbursement and requirements
- CLIA waived. Reimbursable under CPT 83861, subject to payer coverage.
- Each testing site must hold a CLIA Certificate of Waiver before testing.
- Developed and manufactured under an ISO 13485 certified quality system.

Indications and Important Safety Information
The ScoutPro Osmolarity System is an automated device intended to quantitatively measure the osmolarity of human tears to aid in the diagnosis of dry eye disease, in patients suspected of having dry eye disease, in conjunction with other methods of clinical evaluation. Do not collect tears within two hours of medicinal eye drops or topical medications; within 15 minutes of anesthetic or dilating drops, after ocular surface staining, after a slit lamp exam, or after other invasive ocular diagnostic testing; or from a patient who has been crying. Do not collect or store tear samples for testing at a later time. This summary is not complete.
