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.No functional abnormalities were noted with the pump.Abrasion was noted on the exhaust tubes of cylinder 1 and cylinder 2.A separation was noted on the bladder of cylinder 1.This is a site of leakage.The separation has a central groove, indicating contact with sharp instrumentation such as a needle.No functional abnormalities were noted with cylinder 2.Abrasion was noted on the inlet tube of the reservoir.A group of striations, indicating contact with unshod instrumentation, was noted on the lockout reservoir valve.This is a site of leakage.The information received indicated the device had worn down tubing at the exit site, but because no functional abnormalities were noted with the returned components beside instrument damage, the complaint could not be confirmed as reported.Because these components were released according to manufacturing and quality control procedures, it was concluded that the observed instrument separations on the bladder of cylinder 1 and on the reservoir lockout valve occurred after the device packaging was opened.In addition, because the expected use of this device combined with the observed separation would have resulted in an earlier detected fluid loss, it was concluded that the separations most likely occurred during or after explant.These separations are not associated with the cause for failure.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.
