Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The microcatheter used in the procedure was not evaluated as a part of this evaluation, so the investigation could not determine if it had caused or contributed to the reported complaint.The pusher was the only component received for evaluation.The investigation of the returned coil system found the implant to be thermally detached from the pusher using a detachment controller.The customer provided images confirm the implant coil was stretched in the aneurysm during the procedure.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.
