This follow-up mdr is created to document the additional event information received for record #605410.According to the available information this inflatable penile prosthesis was implanted on (b)(6) 2016 and removed/replaced on (b)(6) 2020 due to broken pump tubing.Additional information received indicated: ¿tubing broke at pump exit.¿ a titan touch pump, two cylinders, and reservoir were received for evaluation.Examination and testing of the returned components revealed a separation within abrasion on the longer exhaust tube of the pump.Testing revealed this to be a site of leakage.Microscopic examination of the surfaces revealed them to be rough and irregular, indicating stress was exerted.Surface abrasion was noted on all pump tubing and on the exhaust tubing of cylinder 1.No functional abnormalities were noted with the reservoir, cylinders 1 and 2, and the detached inlet tubing.Based on recreation of the position of the tubes according to the abrasion pattern, this demonstrates that the pump tubing was overlapping in-vivo.This positioning, in combination with device usage over time, could contribute to sufficient stress to cause a separation through the longer length of pump exhaust tubing at this site.A separation of this type could then allow the loss of fluid, making the device inoperable.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.
