Titan 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.Abrasion was noted on the exhaust tube of cylinder 2.A separation was noted on the exhaust tubing of cylinder 2, near the strain relief junction.This is a site of leakage.The surfaces appear to have crease marks adjacent to or within a confined area of abrasion, indicating the area was kinked and abrading against itself for an extended period of time.No functional abnormalities were noted with cylinder 1.No functional abnormalities were noted with the reservoir.Based on examination of the returned product, it was concluded that the abrasion marks noted on all pump tubing matched in such a way to conclude that they had overlapped and abraded against one another while in-vivo.This then may have caused the exhaust tube of cylinder 2 to be kinked onto itself for a period of time.This positioning, in combination with device usage over time, could contribute to sufficient stress to separate the exhaust tubing.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, nonconformance's and capas revealed no trends for this lot.
