The Motion InBra (YM-8801) wearable breast pump is a powered breast pump to be used by lactating women to express and collect milk from their breasts. The Motion InBra (YM-8801) powered breast pump is intended for a single user. This breast pump is intended to be used in a home environment.
The Motion InBra (YM-8801) wearable breast pump is a powered breast pump intended to be used by lactating women to express and collect milk from their breasts; it is intended for a single user. The Motion InBra (YM-8801) is a breast pump powered by lithium-ion battery, utilizing an embedded control program to manage all device functions. The user interface allows the user to switch from stimulation and expression modes and control the vacuum levels within those modes.
All available modes consist of 9 vacuum levels. The Motion InBra (YM-8801) is capable of providing vacuum levels from 80-160 mmHg with cycling rates from 100-120 cycles per minute in stimulation mode and vacuum levels from 80-280 mmHg with cycling rates from 35-75 cycles per minute in expression mode. The device is charged with a 5 V DC adaptor and powered by an internal rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery. The motor unit operates on embedded software. Software updates by end-users are not supported. The subject device is for repeated use by a single user in a home environment. The device is provided non-sterile.
The motor unit operates on a rechargeable battery and does not function when charging. The rechargeable battery can be charged from the external USB adaptor if the motor unit is not in operation.
The Motion InBra Wearable Breast Pump includes 2-Phase Expression Technology: Stimulation and Expression Phases. The Stimulation Phase initiates with a rapid suction pattern designed to trigger the milk ejection reflex and promote milk flow. In contrast, the Expression Phase begins with a slower and deeper suction rhythm, optimized for effective milk extraction once let-down has occurred. The milk is collected in a milk collection container, which can be used for storage. To prevent milk from flowing into the vacuum system, a backflow protection membrane physically separates the milk-contacting pathway from the vacuum system.
The operating life of the Motion InBra Wearable Breast Pump is 150 hours. The expected operating life of the washable parts (milk container, breast shield, insert and membrane) is 3 months.
All other components (i.e., motor unit/housing) of the subject device are not in contact with the breast. All milk contacting components are compliant with 21 CFR 175 and 21 CFR 177.

Dated: January 15, 2026
Received: January 15, 2026
Dear Jenni Vescovo:
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: The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (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, the Food and Drug Administration (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"

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, ISO 13485 clause 7.3 (Design controls), ISO 13484 clause 8.3 (Nonconforming product), and ISO 13485 clause 8.5 (Corrective and preventative action). Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QMSR requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (ISO 13485 clause 7.3 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
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 requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

Performance Testing
Other performance testing was conducted to show that the device meets its design requirements and performs as intended. The performance tests include:
- Vacuum level verification testing at each mode/cycle demonstrated that the devices meet mode/cycle specifications.
- Backflow protection testing was conducted to verify liquid does not backflow into the tubing.
- Use life testing was conducted to demonstrate that the device maintains its specifications throughout its proposed use life.
- Battery performance testing was conducted to demonstrate that the battery remains functional during its stated battery use-life.
- Battery status indicator testing was conducted to demonstrate that the battery status indicator remains functional during its stated battery life.
