Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The coil implant was the only component received for evaluation.Inspection of the implant revealed a bend at the marker band and proximal glue bond section.This bend would have resulted in an oversized effective diameter, which could have caused increased friction during advancement or retraction.Based on the investigation findings, the separation of the implant is consistent with the implant becoming stuck and then experiencing retraction forces that exceeded the strength of the monofilament.
