Product complaint # (b)(4).Complaint conclusion: as reported by the field, during a coil embolization, a 3x4 orbit galaxy xtrasoft coil (640cx0304, 30679277) became impeded in the distal end of the unspecified microcatheter (mc) and could not advance anymore.The coil was retracted, and it was found to be unraveled/stretched.The physician changed to a new coil and the surgery was completed.There was no patient injury reported.No additional information is available.The device was discarded; therefore, no further investigation can be performed.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device 30679277 number, and no non-conformances related to the malfunction were identified.Impeded in microcatheter and coil unraveled/stretched in microcatheter are known potential product failures associated with the use of the device.The instructions for use (ifu) warns that if the microcoil system becomes immobile in the infusion microcatheter, apply a gentle push-pull motion to free it.If unsuccessful, remove both microcatheter and microcoil system together as a unit and replace with new devices.With the information available and without the product available for analysis, the reported customer complaints could not be confirmed.Based on the manufacturing record evaluation, there is no indication that the events are related to the device manufacturing process.The exact cause of the event could not be determined; however, there are circumstances of the procedure that may have contributed to the reported failures.Coil stretching is an indicative of the application of excessive force, possibly in an attempt to overcome the reported resistance.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 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.
