The investigation of the returned web system found the hypotube kinked, the proximal connector bent, and the implant not attached to the delivery system.The device passed continuity and resistance testing.Further inspection found the heater coil damaged, which could have caused the tether to get stuck and have a sticky detachment during the procedure.However, the web implant was not returned, and no procedural images were received for evaluation therefore, this investigation could not analyze the device for the alleged web movement post-detachment as stated in the reported complaint.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.
