The investigation of the returned coil system found the implant separated from the pusher.No indication using a detachment controller was found on the pusher's heater coil.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 investigation of the returned device did not find any other damage or anomaly that would have caused or contributed to the reported complaint.
