Manufacturer Narrative

To whom it may concern: visual analysis of the optima coil revealed the implant separated from the delivery pusher.Distal side of the pusher appears normal with no signs that a detachment cycle was preformed.At the detachment zone the sr thread was fractured leaving about 4.7cm protruding out of the proximal end of the implant coil.A follow up was preformed and the physician stated that the detachment occured during reposition of the device.The protruding sr thread is consistent with previous experiences on the coil being wedged during manipulation.Detachment-related issues (including premature detachment) are well-understood failures for implantable coils.These types of failures are not infrequent nor unique to balt usa products, having an established history of occurrence across similar marketed devices for many years.The xcel detachment controller was received along with the optima coil.Visual analysis revealed the exterior housing to be normal in appearance.No damage or excessive fluid residual was visible.The controller was tested inserting a pusher connector into the housing controller until the pusher bumps against the inside of the detachment controller.The audio was present, the led was flashing green and indication of normal current.Based on the provided information and investigation results the possible root cause for separation may have been caused by the coil getting wedged during manipulation and separation came as the result of significant strain applied during reposition.The submission of this report or related information to the fda, and its release by fda, does not reflect a conclusion by the party submitting this report of the fda that the report or related information is an admission that the manufacturer, their employees, or the device caused or contributed to the reportable event.
