Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The investigation of the returned web device found the implant to be separated from the pusher and not returned.Inspection of the pusher found no evidence of activation at the heater coil section.The monofilament could not be extracted to inspect the profile; however, since there is no evidence of thermal detachment, it was determined that the separation of the implant would have occurred due to the device experiencing retraction forces that exceeded the tensile strength of the monofilament.Further inspection of the pusher found the proximal connector to be severely damaged.If this damage were present at the time of the procedure, it would not be possible to detach the implant normally using a detachment controller.The physical evaluation of the device could not identify the conditions or circumstances that led to the damage, but the damage is consistent with the device experiencing forces over specification.
