Evaluation of the returned smart coil revealed an offset coil wind on the embolization coil.If the introducer sheath is not properly aligned within the hub of the microcatheter prior to advancement, resistance maybe experienced during advancement.If the device is forcefully advanced against resistance, damage such as offset coil winds may occur.During functional testing, the smart coil was able to be advancement through its introducer sheath and a demonstration microcatheter without an issue.Penumbra coils are visually 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.
