The patient was undergoing a thrombectomy procedure in the m1 segment of the middle cerebral artery (mca) using a penumbra system aspiration pump max 220 (pump max) and pump max canister (canister).It was noted that the procedure was several hours long under general anesthesia.During the procedure, several hours in and nearing the end of the procedure, the physician noticed that the top of the canister sagged under aspiration and that there was a decrease in aspiration.It was reported that the physician was able to aspirate some thrombus but not all of it.The pump max stopped working and a burning smell was noted.It was also reported that the pump max was turned on and off several times during the procedure.The procedure was completed using a new canister and the same pump max.There was no report of an adverse effect to this patient.

Results: the pump max was powered on and was able to achieve vacuum pressure within specification.The pump max was tested using a demonstration canister, and the pump max was able to achieve vacuum pressure within specification.The pump max remained powered on and no decrease in aspiration was observed and no burning smell was observed.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned pump max could not confirm the reported complaint.A demonstration canister was connected to the pump max.The pump max was powered on and was able to achieve vacuum pressure within specification.The pump max remained powered on and no decrease in aspiration was observed and no burning smell was observed.Penumbra pumps and canisters are 100% visually inspected and functionally tested during incoming quality inspection.The manufacturing records for this lot were reviewed and did not reveal any outstanding discrepancies, design, or quality concerns.This report is associated with mfr report number: 1.3005168196-2020-01636.
