Results: the pet lock was intact on the proximal end of the pusher assembly.The embolization coil was intact with the pusher assembly and had offset coil winds along its length.The embolization coil was returned advanced distal to the introducer sheath.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned smart coil revealed a functional device.During functional testing, the smart coil was able to advance through its introducer sheath and a demonstration microcatheter without an issue.The reported complaint could not be confirmed.Further evaluation of the device revealed offset coil winds along the length of the embolization coil.These offset coil winds were likely incidental to the complaint and may have occurred due to the embolization coil was returned unprotected outside of the introducer sheath.Penumbra coils are visually inspected during in-process inspection and during quality inspection after manufacturing.The manufacturing records for this lot were reviewed and did not reveal any outstanding discrepancies, design, or quality concerns.
