Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H3: product analysis of apb-2-4-3d-es, lot# 224389168 ¿ as found condition: the axium prime coil was returned for analysis within a shipping box, within a plastic bio-pouch, and within a dispenser coil.¿ damage location details: the axium prime pusher was found broken at ~176.0cm from the pusher distal end (distal to hypotube break indicator).The distal end of the axium prime pusher was found bent.The release wire coin was found against the lumen stop, the shield coil was intact, and the implant coil still attached to the pusher.The implant coil was found damaged.¿ testing/analysis: an attempt was made to detach the implant coil; however, the release wire coin broke at the lumen stop.¿ conclusion: based on the device analysis and reported information, the customer¿s ¿non-detachment¿ report was confirmed.In this event, it is likely the bent pusher and the detachment attempt at the incorrect location (not at hypotube break indicator) contributed to the event.Medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
