Titan pump, cylinders 1 and 2, and connector / tubing 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.A separation was noted on the exhaust tubing of cylinder 1 near the strain relief.This is a site of leakage.A small area of abrasion was noted adjacent to the separation indicating the tube had been kinked onto itself and abraded.No functional abnormalities were noted with cylinder 2.A group of striations, indicating contact with unshod instrumentation, was noted on the inlet tube of the detached connector/tubing.This is a site of leakage.Based on examination of the returned product, it was concluded that the exhaust tubing of cylinder 1 had been kinked onto itself based on the crease marks noted during examination.This positioning, in combination with device usage over time, could contribute to sufficient stress to separate the exhaust tubing of cylinder 1 near the strain relief junction.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 on the inlet tubing of the detached connector/tubing ccurred 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.
