Manufacturer Narrative
|
A titan touch pump and two cylinders were received for evaluation.Examination and testing of the returned components revealed a separation in the cylinder 1 tubing at the tubing/strain relief junction.Testing revealed this to be a site of leakage.Microscopic evaluation revealed the surfaces to be rough and irregular, indicating sufficient stress was exerted to separate the site.Microscopic evaluation revealed surface abrasion on all pump tubing, and the cylinder 2 exhaust tubing.No functional abnormalities were noted with the pump or cylinder 2.Based on examination of the returned product, it was concluded that the abrasion marks noted on all pump tubing indicated that tubing may have overlapped and abraded against one another while in-vivo.This positioning, in combination with device usage over time, may have contributed sufficient stress(s) to cause the cylinder 1 exhaust tubing to separate the site while in-vivo.A separation of this type may then allow the loss of fluid, rendering the device inoperable.A review of the device history record confirmed the devices from this lot met all specifications prior to release and no anomalies were noted during production.A review of the complaint history database, non-conformances and capas revealed no trends for this lot.
