Please note that the following section was incorrectly reported on the initial mfr report and is being corrected on this follow-up #01 mfr report 3005168196-2020-02060.Previously, it was incorrectly understood that a new handle and smart coils were used to complete the procedure.However, no additional coils were implanted following the reported incident and the procedure ended after the placement of one penumbra coil 400 (pc400).Therefore, there was no delay in case.Note: although the event summary alleged a deterioration in the characteristics or performance of the device, this event did not and, if it were to recur, it would not cause or contribute to serious injury or death.Therefore, this is not considered a reportable event.
