According to the available information, the inflatable penile prosthesis was removed and replaced on (b)(6) 2021 as the tubing broke close to the pump.Based on examination of the returned product, it was concluded that the abrasion marks noted on the longer pump exhaust tubing and pump inlet tubing indicated they may have overlapped and abraded against one another while in-vivo.This positioning, in combination with device usage over time, may have contributed sufficient stress(s) to cause a separation in the shorter pump exhaust tubing strain relief adjacent to the pump body.A separation of this type may then allow the loss of fluid, rendering the device inoperable.A review of the device history record confirmed that the devices from this lot met all specifications prior to release.A review of the complaint history database, non-conformances and capas revealed no trends for this lot.
