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.

Paul Smolenski Director of Regulatory Affairs 340 Commercial Street Manchester, New Hampshire 03101 Re: K243354 Trade/Device Name: Remunity System Regulation Number: 21 CFR 880.5725 Regulation Name: Infusion Pump Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: OJY Dated: October 28, 2024 Received: October 29, 2024 Dear Paul Smolenski: 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 (the 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 available 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. Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" {1}------------------------------------------------ 2 (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

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 can be used with an additional infusion set. #### 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 The following table is a matrix of the intended use and technological characteristics between the subject device and the predicate device.
