Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Evaluation of the returned smart coil revealed that the pusher assembly mid-joint was retracted through the introducer sheath friction lock.If this occurs, resistance may be experienced during advancement.Forceful advancement against this resistance likely contributed to the pusher assembly kinks and fracture observed near the mid-joint.Further evaluation revealed that the embolization coil was detached from the pusher assembly and the pusher assembly was bent along its length.The detached embolization coil was likely a result of the pusher assembly fracture.The bends on the pusher assembly were likely incidental to the complaint and may have occurred during packaging for return to penumbra.Penumbra coils are 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.
