Due to the automated mes system, there are controls in the manufacturing process to ensure the product met specifications upon release.During visual inspection, the main coil severely stretched, and broken at the proximal end.The delivery wire was also noted to be kinked/bent, likely due to handling damage and the suture was damaged.Functional testing was unable to carry out as the main coil was found broken.The reported event is covered in the device directions for use (dfu).As well, the risk of the reported event is documented in the risk documentation, and there are current controls to mitigate the risk of the as reported event.Additional information provided by the customer indicated there was no damage noted to the packaging prior to opening the packaging, the device was confirmed to be in good condition during preparation/prior to use on the patient, and the device was prepared as per the directions for use.Continuous flush was set up and maintained throughout the clinical procedure, the patient¿s anatomy was moderately tortuous and there was no patient adverse event.The damage noted to the device would be indicative of the as reported defect.The main coil was seen to be severely stretched and broken and suture damaged during analysis of the device therefore the initial reported issue main coil stretched was confirmed.It is probable the coil was damaged during the procedure as the device was being pushed into the aneurysm as indicated in the event description.The as reported and as analyzed issue main coil stretched and as analyzed issues main coil suture damage, and main coil broken/fractured during use was assigned procedural factors as these defects appear to be associated with a product that met stryker design, and manufacturing specifications and was used in accordance with the dfu, but performance was limited due to procedural or anatomical factors during use.
