This follow-up mdr is created to document the evaluation of the returned device.According to the available information this inflatable penile prosthesis was implanted on (b)(6) 2016 and removed/replaced on (b)(6) 2017 due to a malfunction.Requests have been made for additional information surrounding the incident.However, to date the requested information has not been received.Two genesis malleable rods were received for evaluation.Examination and testing of the returned components revealed a separation in the middle of rod #1 and rod #2.The separation appears to be rough and irregular, indicating sufficient stress was exerted.Because the limited information provided does not indicate any factors that may have contributed to the reported event, quality cannot determine or comment on the sequence of events resulting in the observed separations.Management routinely reviews events such as this and monitors complaint levels.Additionally, events of this type are captured in the product risk documentation.Based on this information, no further corrective action is required at this time.
