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 exhaust tube/strain relief junction of cylinder #2.Testing revealed this to be a site of leakage.The separation appears to be rough and irregular, indicating sufficient stress was exerted.Surface abrasion is noted on all tubes of the pump and the strain relief of the longer exhaust tube and inlet tube of the pump, and on the inlet tube of the reservoir.No functional abnormalities are noted with cylinder #1 or the reservoir.Based on previous quality simulations and examination of the returned product, quality concluded that the rough and irregular surfaces associated with this separation indicates that sufficient stress(s) was exerted at the exhaust tube/strain relief junction of cylinder #2 to separate the site while in-vivo.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.
