Titan touch pump and cylinders 1 and 2 were received for evaluation.Abrasion was noted on both exhaust tubes and the inlet tube of the pump.A separation was noted on the longer exhaust tube of the pump.This was a site of leakage.The surfaces appear to be rough and irregular, indicating stress was exerted.A separation was noted on the bladder of cylinder 1.This is a site of leakage.The separation has a smooth, straight edge, indicating contact with sharp instrumentation.No functional abnormalities were noted with cylinder 2.Based on examination of the returned product, it was concluded that the rough and irregular surfaces associated with the separation indicates that sufficient stress was exerted on the longer exhaust tube of the pump to separate the site while in-vivo.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 instrument separation in the bladder of cylinder 1 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.No trends were noted for complaints and there were no nonconforming reports or capas that were confirmed to be associated.
