Results: the canister lid was not properly sealed on the canister body.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned canister revealed that the canister lid was not properly sealed on its body.This damage likely contributed to the inability to aspirate properly during the procedure.The returned canister was covered with blood; therefore, functional testing could not be performed.Penumbra canisters are 100% visually inspected and functionally tested by the supplier.The manufacturing records for this lot were reviewed and did not reveal any outstanding discrepancies, design, or quality concerns.H3 other text : placeholder.
