The investigation of the returned coil system found the implant stretched at proximal and to be attached to the pusher.No signs of activation was found on the pusher's heater coil and the introducer sheath was returned with dry blood contamination; furthermore, the device was experiencing heavy resistance/friction during functional testing using a compatible lab provided introducer sheath and microcatheter which is consistent with the damages found on the device.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.
