Manufacturer Narrative
|
There is one supplied radiographic image: a lateral plain x-ray of the upper beck showing a short opaque platinum coil fragment.This image does not substantiate the complaint on its own however.The pusher and microcatheter were the only components received for evaluation.No damage was found on the returned microcatheter and no components were found inside the microcatheter after investigation under x-ray.The investigation of the returned coil system found the pusher severely stretched starting at the attachment bond and broken at the distal end.The physical evaluation of the device could not identify the conditions or circumstances that led to the damage, but the damage is consistent with the device experiencing forces over specification.
