Evaluation of the returned lightning confirmed a solid red light.The device was plugged into a demonstration engine with the switch in the off position.The green indicator light illuminated, and then the light turned into solid red.The error code was checked and indicated that the switch pressure sensor was not functioning properly.The lightning housing was opened, and no damage was observed.The lightning power cable was disconnected and reconnected and the same issue occurred.The root cause of this issue could not be determined.Penumbra devices are visually inspected during in-process inspection and during quality inspection after manufacturing.The manufacturing records for this lot were reviewed and did not reveal any outstanding discrepancies, design, or quality concerns.Section h.Box 6.Conclusions code 1: 4316 - the investigation findings do not lead to a clear conclusion about the root cause of solid red light indicator.
