A titan touch pump and cylinders were received for evaluation.Examination and testing of the returned components revealed two separations in the bladder of cylinder 2.The separations appear to be smooth with a central groove indicating contact with a small, sharp instrument such as a needle.No functional abnormalities with the pump or cylinder 1.Because these components were released according to manufacturing and quality control procedures, quality concluded that the observed instrument separation in the bladder of cylinder 2 occurred subsequent to the device packaging being opened.The information received indicated the device was explanted due to a pinhole in the cylinder bladder.Based on the evaluation and information received, quality concluded that the separation most likely occurred inadvertently during the implant procedure.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.
