Event Description
|
Additional information received, during the revision surgery the physician opened the scrotum and removed portions of the capsule.The original pump worked fine and there were no signs of auto inflation with the reservoir.Reservoir was drained and refilled to break the capsule that had formed around it as well (since the cylinders had been inflated for weeks and reservoir had been empty).The physician decided to cut in a new titan pump so he could reposition it lower in the scrotum.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
A titan pump and a portion of the detached inlet tubing with connector were received for evaluation.Microscopic examination revealed the presence of surface abrasion on the longer length pump exhaust tubing and on the detached inlet tubing.No functional abnormalities were found with any of the returned components.The information received indicated that the patient experienced auto inflation.The physician stated that during the revision surgery the capsule was broken that had formed around the reservoir and there were no signs of auto inflation.Examination of the returned components confirmed no functional abnormalities with the returned components, therefore, the complaint could not be confirmed as reported.The physician also reported that the patient experienced a hematoma and capsule formation.As examination of the device may not conclusively confirm or disprove these reports, quality accepts the physician's observations as to the reason for surgical intervention.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, nonconformances and capas revealed no trends for this lot.
