Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The microcatheter and coil implant were received for evaluation.The delivery pusher was not returned.No damage was found on the microcatheter.The implant was noted to be stuck inside the microcatheter and was damaged/stretched.The marker band and proximal glue bond section were bent and out of specification, which created an oversized effective diameter and would cause increased friction during advancement or retraction.The detachment of the implant is consistent with the implant becoming stuck and then experiencing retraction forces that exceeded the strength of the monofilament.
