Additional Manufacturer Narrative

H10: evaluation summary: the coil implant was not returned.The microcatheter used in the procedure was not evaluated as a part of this evaluation; therefore, the investigation could not determine if it had caused or contributed to the reported complaint.The investigation of the returned coil delivery system found the implant to be separated from the pusher.The pusher and introducer were returned intact with no notable damage.No indication using a detachment controller was found on the pusher's heater coil.The investigation found the monofilament broken at the attachment bond, which is consistent with the device experiencing excessive force that exceeded the strength of the monofilament causing the implant and monofilament to separate from the pusher during extraction.
