This follow-up mdr is created to document the evaluation of the returned device.A titan otr pump, two cylinders, reservoir and detached inlet tube with connector were received for evaluation.Examination and testing of the returned components revealed a separation within abrasion on the exhaust tube of cylinder 2 near the base.Testing revealed this to be a site of leakage.Abrasion was noted on all pump tubes and detached inlet tube.No functional abnormalities were noted with the pump, cylinder 1, reservoir or detached inlet tube with connector.Based on recreation of the position of the tubes according to the abrasion pattern, this demonstrates that all pump tubes were overlapping one another while in-vivo.This positioning, in combination with device usage over time, could contribute to sufficient stress(s) to cause a separation through the exhaust tube of cylinder 2 near the base.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, non-conformances and capas revealed no trends for this lot.
