Pump stops filling

I'm almost a year since my Titan implant. Recently noticed when I pump up at a point near full inflation the pump bulb "collapses" as if no more fluid is available and I can't pump any further.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Does the reservoir have insufficient fluid?
Can fluid be added to the reservoir with a minor procedure?

Yes. It happened to me at about the six month mark. I'm full inflated by then but I can pump all the fluid out of my reservoir. As long as your pump is moving fluid then it's still working. Like me I'm sure you could have used more fluid in the reservoir

I am having the same issue. Initially I believed stretch in the cylinders was causing the reservoir to run out, but the problem got worse over time. Have since determined I have a leak between the pump and reservoir. The longer I stay deflated, the more fluid is lost. I pumped to max inflation (now about 60%) and left it at that level for the last 6 weeks to avoid atrophy as I wait for revision surgery.

Thank you for the prompt replies. Is there any way you know of to add fluid to the existing reservoir or would the reservoir need to be replaced to fix this?

ask your surgeon, i suspect that fluid can be added
Note, curiously, this did happen to me 3 years ago, but it then got better all by itself---weird, but it did get better.

The exact same issue here,, about 70% erect and I can hear and feel the pump starting to run out of fluid and starts pumping air,, no leaks,, just not a big enough reservoir for enough fluid.
I think a complete reservoir replacement is required,, hopefully someone with more knowledge on this matter will chime in and tell us all the options.

I just asked my Uro this very same question and she had me fully inflate it and confirmed the bulb collapsed. However, she said that with the size and rigidity I had, it was basically maxed out. Yes the bulb should not go flat-technically, but I had gained so much size over the past year and a half she did not see any need to add fluid. Fluid can be added but why risk side complications if the penis is erect enough for intercourse. If a person did. It have an erection they thought was good enough, fluid could be added. Good luck.

I have an lgx. I don't like to pump to steel spike hard, but when I did it cycling , if I squeeze gently the pump goes flat. If is squeeze quickly and aggressively, the pump is rock hard. This is a safety function to keep from over pressurizing. At that hard it is much too painful to enjoy anyway.

I pump mine rock hard all the time.make sure your fingers are placed, with the pumps button up, on top and bottom of it. Once and awhile if fingers are to much to the sides i can feel the squish and know to reposition them on the pump and its fine.
