Product complaint # (b)(4).Complaint conclusion: as reported by the field, during a coil embolization, a 3.5x5 orbit galaxy xtrasoft coil (640cx3505, 30706309) was being used as the third coil.The coil couldn't be advanced nor retrieved by the physician.The physician pulled the coil and the unspecified microcatheter (mc) at the same time.After inspection it turns out to be stretched.The physician used a same like product.The procedure was successfully finished.No additional information is available.A non-sterile og cmplx xtrasoft coil 3.5x5 was received contained in a decontamination pouch.Upon arrival, visual inspection revealed that part of the support coil was kinked outside of the introducer.No other damages were observed on the device during the visual analysis.Under magnification, the embolic coil was observed to be stretched on its proximal section, though still attached to the rest of the device.The gripper was found to be in good condition.A manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was performed for the finished device 30706309 number, and no non-conformances related to the malfunction were identified.Coil stretching is a known potential issue associated with the use of this device.The instructions for use (ifu) provide proper handling instructions for the device to prevent such issues from occurring.Stretching can occur during procedure handling where force may have been inadvertently applied.The complaint documented that the coil could not be retrieved from the concomitant microcatheter; the complaint coil was removed from the patient.It is possible that force may have inadvertently been applied during the coil retrieval in an attempt to overcome the resistance, which resulted in the coil stretching.Similarly, there may have been excessive manipulation required to try to advance the coil through the microcatheter, which resulted in the support coil kinking.The issue documented in the complaint that the coil turned out to be stretched was confirmed based on the appearance of the returned coil component.Although the impeded condition could not be evaluated through functional test due to the coil stretching and support coil kinking, these damages are considered to be secondary to the impeded condition encountered during the procedure.With the limited information available, an assignment of a root cause is not possible.Factors not described in the event description may have contributed to the issue encountered during the procedure; however, this cannot be conclusively determined.There is no indication that the issue reported in the complaint results from a defect inherently related to the device.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed, and no non-conformance was found during the review.It should be noted that product failure could be caused by multiple factors.The instructions for use (ifu) contain the following precautions: ¿ never advance, withdraw, or torque the delivery tube against resistance without first determining the cause of resistance under fluoroscopy.Manipulation of the delivery tube against resistance can cause damage and/or premature detachment of the coil.¿if friction is noted with any subsequent detachable coil system, carefully examine the detachable coil system and the infusion catheter for possible damage.Replace both if necessary.Multiple attempts to obtain additional information were unsuccessful.If information is provided at a later date, the file will be reopened and processed accordingly.As part of the cerenovus quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended to identify statistical signals for consideration of further correction action.Since there was no evidence to suggest the events were related to a manufacturing or design issue, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.A supplemental report will be submitted if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.
