Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information: d10 (date device received), h6, h10 (summary device evaluation).Summary device evaluation: the investigation of the returned coil system found the implant to be deformed and separated from the pusher.The pusher was not returned for evaluation.The investigation found the implant's monofilament showed 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.This condition is consistent with the coil becoming stuck or experiencing friction during repositioning within the aneurysm (i.E., stuck on previously implanted coils or the tip of the microcatheter).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.
