This follow-up mdr is created to document the analysis of the returned device, updated device information, additional event information and updated codes.Disregard follow-up number 1 for this event.A titan pump, two cylinders and a reservoir were received for evaluation.Examination and testing of the returned components revealed a separation on the posterior side of the pump bulb at the bulb/body junction.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.A separation was noted in both cylinder bladders near the base.Testing revealed these to both be sites of leakage.Microscopic examination of the surfaces revealed them to have a melted appearance, indicating contact with cauterizing instrumentation.A small separation is noted in the exhaust tube of cylinder 2 near the strain relief.Testing revealed this to be a site of leakage.Microscopic examination revealed the surfaces to have uniform striation indicating contact with sharp instrumentation.No functional abnormalities were noted with the reservoir.Based on examination of the returned product, it was concluded that the abrasion marks noted on the one exhaust tube and inlet tube of the pump indicated that they had overlapped and abraded against one another while in-vivo.The pump tubing was observed to be bent upward.This positioning could have contributed to excess stress on the pump bulb area which resulted in the separation noted.A separation of this type would then allow the loss of fluid, making the device inoperable.Because these components were released according to manufacturing and quality control procedures, quality concluded that the observed instrument separation in both cylinder bladders and exhaust tube of cylinder 2 occurred subsequent to the device packaging being opened.In addition, because the expected use of this device combined with the observed separation would have resulted in an earlier detected fluid loss, quality concluded that the separation most likely occurred during or subsequent to explant.This separation is not associated with the cause for failure.A review of the device history record confirmed the devices from this lot met all specifications prior to release.A review of the complaint history database, nonconformances and capas revealed no trends for this lot.

This follow-up mdr is created to document the analysis of the returned device, update device information and updated codes.A titan pump was received for evaluation.Examination and testing of the returned component revealed a separation on the posterior side of the pump body in the exhaust tube area.Testing revealed this to be a site of leakage.Microscopic examination of the surfaces revealed them to be smooth and non-striated indicating stress was exerted.Abrasion was noted on one exhaust tube and the inlet tube of the pump.The inlet tube and connector were detached to allow testing to the pump component.No functional abnormalities were noted with the detached inlet tube or connector.Based on examination of the returned product, it was concluded that the abrasion marks noted on the one exhaust tube and inlet tube of the pump matched in such a way to conclude that they had overlapped and abraded against one another while in-vivo.This positioning then most likely caused excess stress to the pump body resulting in the separation noted.A separation of this type would then allow the loss of fluid, making the device inoperable.A review of the device history record confirmed the devices from this lot met all specifications prior to release.A review of the complaint history database, nonconformances and capas revealed no trends for this lot.
