(b)(4).Information regarding patient identifier, date of birth, age, gender, weight, race, ethnicity, and medical history were not provided.Procode is krd/hcg.The name, phone and email address of the initial reporter are not available / reported.[conclusion]: the healthcare professional reported that the 3mm x 6cm orbit galaxy complex xtrasoft coil (640cx0306 / 30498211) became stretched during deployment; as a result, the physician removed the coil from the target aneurysm.There was no procedure delay as a result of the event; the procedure was successfully completed without any patient adverse event or complication.Based on complaint information, the device was not available to be returned for analysis.A review of manufacturing documentation associated with this lot (30498211) presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection processes related to the reported complaint.There were no nonconformances related to device manufacture or inspection.All product rejected during manufacturing was identified as scrap and properly accounted for.Product analysis cannot be conducted as the product was not returned for analysis.No determination of causes and possible contributing factors could be made.As such, the investigation will be closed.With the limited information available and without the product available for analysis, the reported customer complaint could not be confirmed.Based on the manufacturing documentation review, there is no indication that the event is related to the device manufacturing process.Coil stretching is a known potential issue associated with the use of this device.The instructions for use (ifu) provides proper handling instructions for the device to prevent such issue from occurring.Assignment of root cause for the event remains speculative and inconclusive, based on the limited information provided and without the return of the complaint sample; however, it is possible that clinical and procedural factors, including device manipulation / interaction, aneurysm size / vessel characteristics, device selection, and the concomitant microcatheter, may have contributed to the reported issue.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended for statistical signals and corrective / preventive action may be triggered at a later time.Since there was no evidence to suggest the event was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.Missing information from this report is identified as blank; this information was not provided in the reported event or available at the time of report submission.The manufacturer will submit a supplemental report if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.Additional information will be submitted within 30 days of receipt.

Manufacturer¿s ref.No: (b)(4).The purpose of this mdr submission is to include the additional event information received on 26 april 2021.[conclusion]: the healthcare professional reported that the 3mm x 6cm orbit galaxy complex xtrasoft coil (640cx0306 / 30498211) became stretched during deployment; as a result, the physician removed the coil from the target aneurysm.There was no procedure delay as a result of the event; the procedure was successfully completed without any patient adverse event or complication.On 26 april 2021, additional information was received.The information indicated that the complaint device was used in a coil embolization procedure that was targeting a 3mm saccular type aneurysm in the middle cerebral artery (mca).There was no neck remodeling used.Continuous flush had been maintained through the concomitant excelsior® sl-10® microcatheter (stryker).There was no difficulty with positioning the coil in the target site; no difficulty getting the coil to conform to the aneurysm wall; the coil issue occurred during the attempt to advance the coil into the aneurysm.It was reported that the coil had been withdrawn and repositioned approximately three (3) times.There was no resistance between the guidewire and the microcatheter when the target site was being accessed.There was no kink on the microcatheter that could have contributed to the reported issue; prior to this issue, no other coils went through the same microcatheter.The microcatheter was not repositioned over the coil while the coil was deployed / partially deployed out of the distal end of the microcatheter.A one-to-one relationship between the coil and the delivery tube was verified with fluoroscopy prior to repositioning.Coil entanglement with previously placed coil was not a factor.The complaint coil was removed in its entirety without additional damage observed.The coil was not detached when it was removed.The reported issue did not result in any blood flow restriction / reduction.A new coil was used and the procedure was completed.Based on complaint information, the device was not available to be returned for analysis.A review of manufacturing documentation associated with this lot (30498211) presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection processes related to the reported complaint.There were no nonconformances related to device manufacture or inspection.All product rejected during manufacturing was identified as scrap and properly accounted for.Product analysis cannot be conducted as the product was not returned for analysis.No determination of causes and possible contributing factors could be made.As such, the investigation will be closed.With the information available and without the product available for analysis, the reported customer complaint could not be confirmed.Based on the manufacturing documentation review, there is no indication that the event is related to the device manufacturing process.Coil stretching is a known potential issue associated with the use of this device.The instructions for use (ifu) provides proper handling instructions for the device to prevent such issue from occurring.While the assignment of root cause for the event remains speculative and inconclusive, the additional information provided on 26 april 2021 indicated that the reported issue occurred during the attempt to advance the coil into the target aneurysm.The complaint coil had been withdrawn and repositioned approximately three (3) times.It is possible that one of these three attempts may have contributed to the coil becoming stretched as reported.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended for statistical signals and corrective / preventive action may be triggered at a later time.Since there was no evidence to suggest the event was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.The manufacturer will submit a supplemental report if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.Additional information will be submitted within 30 days of receipt.
