Titan touch pump, cylinders 1 and 2, and reservoir were received for evaluation.Abrasion was noted on both exhaust tubes and the inlet tube of the pump.A group of partial separations, surrounded by abrasion, were noted on the longer exhaust tube of the pump.These were not sites of leakage.A separation, surrounded by abrasion, was noted on the inlet tube of the pump near the strain relief.This is a site of leakage.No functional abnormalities were noted with either cylinder 1 or cylinder 2.Abrasion was noted on the inlet tube of the reservoir.No functional abnormalities were noted with the reservoir.Based on examination of the returned product, it was concluded that while in-vivo both the exhaust tubes and inlet tube of the pump had overlapped and abraded against one another.This positioning, in combination with device usage over time, could contribute to sufficient stress to separate the inlet tubing of the pump.A separation of this type could then allow the loss of fluid, making the device inoperable.A review of the device history record confirmed the devices from this lot met all specifications prior to release.A review of the complaint history database, nonconformances and capas revealed no trends for this lot.
