Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The investigation of the returned coil system found the pusher returned with no implant attached, and the gold connector kinked.The severed implant was not returned for evaluation as the proximal portion remained in the microcatheter and the distal portion remained in the patient as described in the reported event.The pusher's heater coil showed no signs of activation using a detachment controller.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.The microcatheter used in the procedure was not evaluated as a part of this evaluation, so the investigation could not determine if it had caused or contributed to the reported complaint.
