Titan otr 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.No functional abnormalities were noted with cylinder 1.A separation, surrounded by abrasion, was noted on the exhaust tubing of cylinder 2.This was a site of leakage.A group of striations, indicating contact with unshod instrumentation, was noted on the inlet tube of the reservoir.This was a site of leakage.Based on examination of the returned product, it was concluded that the abrasion marks noted on both exhaust tubes and inlet tube of the pump matched in such a way to conclude that they had overlapped and abraded against one another while in-vivo enough to cause a separation in the cylinder 2 exhaust tubing.A separation of this type could then allow the loss of fluid, making the device inoperable.Because these components were released according to manufacturing and quality control procedures, it was concluded that the observed unshod instrument separation on the inlet tube of the reservoir 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 separation most likely occurred during or after explant.This separation is 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.
