Intended Use
The neria™ guard Infusion Set is indicated for subcutaneous infusion of medication administered by an external pump.
Device Story
The neria™ guard Infusion Set is a sterile, single-use subcutaneous infusion set featuring a 90-degree soft cannula and a preloaded insertion device with automatic needle retraction. The device connects to an external infusion pump via tubing. The insertion needle and soft cannula remain hidden from the user before, during, and after insertion to prevent needle stick injuries. The device is used in clinical or home settings by patients or caregivers. The healthcare provider selects the insertion site based on adipose tissue availability. The device facilitates medication delivery by maintaining a subcutaneous fluid path. The automatic retraction mechanism simplifies the insertion process and enhances safety compared to manual insertion methods.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing included sterilization validation (ISO 11135:2014), biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1), shelf-life (ASTM F1980:2011), and functional testing (tensile strength, leak testing, flow testing, and serter activation force).
Indicated for subcutaneous infusion of medication via external pump in patients requiring such therapy.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intravascular administration set is a device used to administer fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. The device may include the needle or catheter, tubing, a flow regulator, a drip chamber, an infusion line filter, an I.V. set stopcock, fluid delivery tubing, connectors between parts of the set, a side tube with a cap to serve as an injection site, and a hollow spike to penetrate and connect the tubing to an I.V. bag or other infusion fluid container.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for pharmacy compounding systems within this classification is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Pharmacy Compounding Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.” Pharmacy compounding systems classified within the intravascular administration set are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of this part and subject to the limitations in § 880.9.

Dear Deirdre Barrow:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
{1}------------------------------------------------
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

### 6. Indication for Use Statement
The neria™ guard Infusion Set is indicated for subcutaneous infusion of medication administered by an external pump.
### 7. Device Description
The neria™ guard Infusion Set manufactured by Unomedical is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, single use subcutaneous infusion set which includes a 90-degree soft cannula. It is delivered ready to use in a preloaded insertion device with automatic needle retraction. The product is indicated for subcutaneous infusion of medication.
The insertion needle and soft cannula of the neria™ guard Infusion Set are hidden from the user before, during and after insertion of the soft cannula. This feature helps prevents needle stick injuries as the device does not require loading with the needle is then automatically retracted after use.
### 8. Substantial Equivalence Discussion
The following table compares the neria™ guard Infusion Set to the predicate device with respect to indications for use, principles of operation, technological characteristics, materials, and performance testing.
{5}------------------------------------------------
It should be noted that the cannula from the subject device and the predicate are identical (same materials from the same suppliers, same manufacturing process, same intended use). Differences between the subject device and predicate device include difference in the insertion method, needle retraction mechanism, additional available lengths, and material differences.
