Results: the pet lock was fractured off the proximal end of the pusher assembly.The pusher assembly was kinked in multiple locations.The embolization coil was intact with its pusher assembly and had offset coil winds.There was no visible damage to the braided shaft.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned ruby coil lp confirmed that the embolization coil was not detached from the pusher assembly.Further evaluation revealed that the proximal end of the pusher assembly was fractured off and the pull wire was inside the ddt.This damage was likely incidental to the reported complaint.However, this damage prevented the smart coil from being functionally tested.Therefore, the root cause of the reported issue could not be determined.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.Conclusions code 1: 4316 the investigation findings do not lead to a clear conclusion about the cause of the reported detachment issue.H3 other text : placeholder.
