Results: the regulator knob was loose and unable to turn the vacuum power up or down.During functional analysis, the pump max was able to power on and produced a vacuum pressure of approximately -29.0 inhg.The regulator knob was unable to adjust vacuum pressure.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned pump max confirmed a loose regulator knob.If the regulator knob is over rotated, the hex nut that secures the regulator knob to the device housing may loosen.If the regulator knob is loosened, the regulator knob may not function properly.During functional testing, the pump max was able to power on and produce a vacuum pressure within specification, but the regulator knob was unable to adjust vacuum pressure.Penumbra pumps are 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.
