A titan otr pump, two cylinders, and a reservoir were received for analysis.Microscopic evaluation revealed partial separations within abrasion on both pump exhaust tubes.Testing revealed these to not be sites of leakage.Microscopic evaluation revealed surface abrasion on all pump tubing, indicating repetitive contact between surfaces.No functional abnormalities were noted with the pump.Microscopic evaluation revealed partial separations within abrasion on the cylinder 2 exhaust tubing.Testing revealed this to not be a site of leakage.Microscopic evaluation revealed surface abrasion on the cylinder 1 and cylinder 2 exhaust tubing.No functional abnormalities were noted on cylinder 1 or cylinder 2.Microscopic evaluation revealed a separation surrounded by partial separations in the reservoir inlet tubing adjacent to the connector.Testing revealed this to be a site of leakage.Based on recreation of the position of the tubes according to the abrasion pattern, this demonstrates that all pump tubes were overlapping in-vivo.This positioning, in combination with device usage over time, could contribute to sufficient stress to cause a separation through the reservoir inlet tubing at this site.A separation of this type could then allow the loss of fluid, rendering the device inoperable.
