Please note that the following section was inadvertently missed on the initial mfr report and is being updated on this follow-up # 01 mfr report: 3005168196-2019-01419.Results: the device housing was opened and found that the two wires from the power switch had damaged insulation.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned pump max confirmed a short circuit.During the functional testing, an electrical short circuit occurred when the pump max was turned on.Subsequently, all of the fuses of the pump max and the power supply became damaged.During functional testing, the pump housing was opened and found that the two wires from the power switch had damaged insulation.The damage power cords were determined to be the cause of the short circuit and the reported complaint.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.
