The investigation of the returned web system found the heater coil windings stretched.The device failed continuity and resistance testing, which is consistent with the stretched heater coil windings.However, the heater coil pet and implant tether were found melted, indicating that the device was activated using a detachment controller during the procedure; therefore, the damage to the heater coil windings likely occurred post-activation.The stretched heater coil windings are an indication that the tether could have been caught in between the coil windings and caused the heater coil to stretch when the delivery system was pulled/retracted during the procedure.The returned detachment controller was found to function as intended and would not have caused or contributed to the reported event.
