This follow-up was created to document the conclusion of the investigation and updated device code of 3191.No exposure code available.Titan touch pump, two cylinders and a reservoir were received for evaluation.The inlet tube with connector was detached to allow testing.Examination and testing of the returned components revealed a separation in the bladder of cylinder 2.Testing revealed this to be a site of leakage.Microscopic examination of the surfaces revealed it to be stretched.A group of striations, indicating contact with unshod instrumentation, was noted on the reservoir inlet tube.Testing revealed this to be a site of leakage.No functional abnormalities were noted with the pump, cylinder 2 or detached inlet tube with connector.Examination of the returned components revealed no abnormalities that would have contributed to the report of erosion or exposure.Quality accepts the physician's observations of such as the reason for surgical intervention.Because these components were released according to manufacturing and quality control procedures, it was concluded that the observed instrument separation in the reservoir inlet tube 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, it was concluded that the separation most likely occurred during or subsequent to explant.It was also concluded that the separation noted in the cylinder 1 bladder most likely occurred during sterilization post explant.These separations are 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.
