Subcutaneous treprostinil infusions via Remunity Pump

For hospitals that accept patients with actively infusing subcutaneous treprostinil infusions via Remunity Pump and allow patients to remain on the subcutaneous infusion during their admissions, I am looking for insight on how you support refill needs. Here are some targeted questions:

1) Does the inpatient pharmacy prepare/fill Remunity Cassettes?
--If no, how do you support patient refill needs?
--If yes, see question #2.

2) Does the inpatient pharmacy prime the Remunity Cassette and infusion tubing?

3) How do you dispense the final product to ensure safety and sterility (i.e., use of specific transport device / clamshell)?

Thanks so much,
