Manufacturer Narrative
|
A titan pump was received for evaluation.Examination and testing of the returned component revealed a separation in the bulb of the pump.Testing revealed this to be a site of leakage.The separation appeared smooth and non-striated, indicating sufficient stress(s) was exerted to separate the site.A partial separation within abrasion was noted in the inlet tube of the pump.Testing revealed this not to be a site of leakage.Surface abrasion was noted in both exhaust tubes of the pump.Based on previous quality simulations and examination of the returned product, quality concluded that the smooth, dull and non-striated surfaces associated with this separation indicates that sufficient stress(s) was exerted on the bulb of the pump to separate the site while in-vivo.A separation of this type would then allow the loss of fluid, making the device inoperable.Quality reviewed the manufacturing records for this device and confirmed that there were no discrepancies that would have contributed to this complaint and verified that the devices from this lot met all specifications prior to release.Review of nonconforming reports revealed no nonconformance with this lot that would have contributed to the event.A review of the complaint database revealed no significant trends in complaints of this type for lot 5887662.
