Response from MFDS about Anyfusion ACPi and ACPi Kit set classified as a combination medical device | |
---|---|
In the existing KFDA product
classification, there are no items that can be mixed and injected with
pharmaceuticals. In consultation with the Ministry of Food
and Drug Safety, we obtained approval for the injection as a cylinder type
medicine injection pump, “Anyfusion pump” and a cylinder type medicine
injection pump “cartridge set”, and for the preparation, as an electric
medicine mixing device and an electric medicine mixing line. However, the officials of National
Institute of Medical Device Safety Information, who are supervising the
approval for class 2 medical devices, should use injection only for injection
purposes, and preparation may only be used for preparation purposes. It was
interpreted that it violated the medical device law. After that, We applied for complaints to
the Food and Drug Administration several times, made them visited, explained,
understood, discussed, reviewed, and received the final reply today. For the ACPi technology, which is an
integrated preparation and injection, it is necessary to determine whether it
is a medical device according to the "Medical Device Act" for the
first time. We had received a reply from the Medical Device Policy Division of
the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety that it is a combination medical device
that combines the technology as the preparation and infusion. The cylinder infusion pump and cartridge
set became the first combined medical device to be formulated and injected as a
medical device with a combination of technology. We will complete the development of CAM
this week, demonstrate and introduce it to medical institutions starting next
week, for understanding the new technology of a closed system that has reduced
the risk of contamination and infection for anticancer drug preparation that have
been impregnable because there is no suitable technology so far. Since our products can be easily used in
existing BSC facilities without additional facility cost investment, we are
confident that it will be an innovative medical device that improves the
quality and difficult cleanroom preparation work. Thank you for your hard work and
cooperation from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) and National
Institute of Medical Device Safety Information (NIDS). |
