Results: the pet lock was intact on the proximal end of the pusher assembly.The pusher assembly mid-joint was retracted through the introducer sheath friction lock.The embolization coil was undamaged and intact with the pusher assembly.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned smart coil revealed that the pusher assembly mid-joint was retracted through the introducer sheath friction lock.If this occurs, resistance may be experienced during advancement.During functional testing, the pusher assembly mid-joint was advanced through the introducer sheath friction lock with resistance.The smart coil was then advanced through the introducer sheath without an issue.Penumbra coils are 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.H3 other text : placeholder.
