Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The investigation of the returned coil system found the proximal connector kinked, the hypotube bent, and the pusher broken at the transition area.The implant and the part of the pusher distal to the broken area was not returned for evaluation.Due to the severe damage to the pusher, the investigation could not determine if the attachment monofilament experienced a tensile break or a thermal detachment; furthermore, the pusher was unable to be tested to determine if conditions existed that would have cause or contributed to the reported non-detachment.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.
