Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The investigation of the returned coil system found the proximal connector kinked and the pusher damaged at the distal end.The implant was returned stretched, separated from the pusher, and stuck inside the microcatheter.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, but the damage is consistent with the device experiencing forces over specification.
