Results: the regulator knob was loose from the pump housing.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned pump max revealed a functional device.During functional testing, the pump max was powered on and was able to achieve a vacuum pressure within specification.The pump was then run continuously for 30 minutes without issue.The reported complaint could not be confirmed.Further evaluation revealed that the regulator knob was loose from the pump housing.This damage was likely incidental to the reported complaint and typically occurs if the regulator knob is over rotated.Penumbra pumps are 100% 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.
