Results: the penumbra engine canister (canister) lid was not completely secure on the canister body.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned canister revealed the lid was not properly secure on the canister body.If this occurs, the canister may not produce sufficient vacuum.During functional testing, the lid was properly tightened onto the canister body and was seated onto a demonstration engine and was able to produce vacuum within specification and all four vacuum indicator lights were illuminated.The root cause of this issue could not be determined.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.
