Regulatory Classification

Identification

An infusion pump is a device used in a health care facility to pump fluids into a patient in a controlled manner. The device may use a piston pump, a roller pump, or a peristaltic pump and may be powered electrically or mechanically. The device may also operate using a constant force to propel the fluid through a narrow tube which determines the flow rate. The device may include means to detect a fault condition, such as air in, or blockage of, the infusion line and to activate an alarm.

Remodulin® (treprostinil) (hereinafter referred to as 'Remodulin®' or 'Remodulin® (treprostinil)'), NDA 021272. The Remunity System consists of several components: a wearable pump assembly, a remote interface, a filling and priming aid, and accessories (e.g., rechargeable batteries, battery charger, charging cable, power adapter). A commercially available subcutaneous infusion set is connected to the pump assembly via a standard luer connector for the delivery of Remodulin® from the Remunity System to the patient. The pump assembly is composed of a reusable pump and a disposable single-use cassette with a pharmacy-filled or user-filled drug reservoir, which infuses Remodulin® subcutaneously into the patient based on an individualized programmed rate. Each disposable cassette may be used for up to 72 hours after attachment to the pump. The Remunity System utilizes a micro-dosing pump mechanism supplemented with acoustic volume sensor feedback to ensure delivery accuracy. The device is prescription use only. The modified device utilizes a touchscreen remote controller. ### Indications for Use The Remunity® Pump for Remodulin® (treprostinil) Injection (the Remunity System) is intended for continuous subcutaneous delivery of Remodulin (treprostinil) Injection for use in adults (greater than 22 years old). ### Substantial Equivalence Discussion #### Intended Use Comparison | Characteristic | Predicate Device - Remunity<br>System (K202690) | Subject Device – Remunity<br>System | |---------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Indications for Use | The Remunity Subcutaneous<br>Infusion System (the Remunity<br>System) is intended for<br>continuous subcutaneous<br>delivery of Remodulin®<br>(treprostinil) Injection for use in<br>adults (greater than 22 years of<br>age). | The Remunity® Pump for<br>Remodulin® (treprostinil)<br>Injection (the Remunity System)<br>is intended for continuous<br>subcutaneous delivery of<br>Remodulin (treprostinil)<br>Injection for use in adults<br>(greater than 22 years old). | The tables below includes a matrix of the intended use between the subject device and the predicate device. {6}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/6/Picture/0 description: The image shows the word "DEKA" in a bold, sans-serif font.
