A titan otr pump, two cylinders, and a reservoir were received for evaluation.Examination and testing of the returned components revealed a separation at the strain relief of the inlet tube of the pump.Testing revealed this to be a site of leakage.No functional abnormalities are noted with the reservoir, cylinder #1, or cylinder #2.Quality concluded that while in-vivo both the exhaust tubes and inlet tube of the pump positioned themselves in such a way that caused them to overlap and abrade against one another.Quality further concluded that this positioning, in combination with device usage over time, could contribute to sufficient stress(s) to separate the inlet tube of the pump at this site.A separation of this type would then allow the loss of fluid, making the device inoperable.Management routinely reviews events such as this and monitors complaint levels.Additionally, events of this type are captured in the product risk documentation.Based on this information no further corrective action is required at this time.
