Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The pusher and introducer were the only components returned for evaluation.The investigation of the returned coil system found the implant to be separated from the pusher with no signs of activation on the heater coil.Dry blood contamination was found on the pusher's heater coil and strain relief.The investigation found the pusher's monofilament with a tensile break shape at the tip which is consistent with the device experiencing excessive force that exceeded the strength of the monofilament causing the implant to separate from the pusher.The physical evaluation of the device could not identify the conditions or circumstances that led to the damage or when this occurred, but the damage is consistent with the device experiencing forces over specification.
