Manufacturer Narrative

This follow up mdr is created to document the evaluation of the returned device.A titan touch pump and two cylinders were received for evaluation.Examination and testing of the returned components revealed a separation in the exhaust tube of cylinder 1 near the strain relief.Testing revealed this to be a site of leakage.Microscopic examination of the surfaces revealed them to be rough and irregular, indicating stress was exerted.No functional abnormalities were noted with the pump or cylinder 2.Based on examination of the returned product, it was concluded that the rough and irregular surfaces associated with this separation indicates that sufficient stress(s) was exerted on the exhaust tube of cylinder 1 near the strain relief to separate the site while in-vivo.A separation of this type would then allow the loss of fluid, making the device inoperable.
