This follow up mdr is created to document the conclusion of the investigation.A titan pump and two cylinders were received for evaluation.Examination and testing of the returned components revealed a separation on the posterior side of the pump body at the top of the exhaust tube strain reliefs.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 the shorter exhaust tube and inlet tube of the pump.No functional abnormalities were noted with either cylinder.Based on examination of the returned product, it was concluded that while in-vivo both the shorter exhaust tube and inlet tube of the pump had overlapped and abraded against one another.The smooth, non-striated surfaces of the separation indicated that sufficient stress may have been exerted on the pump body to separate the site while in-vivo.The information received the device was implanted over a year, but additional information regarding the reported complaint was not provided.Therefore, quality is unable to determine the cause of the separation.A separation of this type could allow the loss of fluid, making the device inoperable.A review of the device history record by a quality engineer 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.
