A search for non-conformances associated with this part/lot number combination did not reveal any production-related issues relevant to the complaint that occurred during manufacturing of the device.The device was stated to be available for return to the manufacturer for evaluation but has not yet been returned.The premature coil detachment could not be confirmed.If the device is received at a later date, an investigation will be performed and a supplemental mdr will be submitted.The instructions for use (ifu) identifies premature coil detachment as a potential complication associated with the use of the device.
Event or Problem Description
It was reported that during an embolization procedure, the coil prematurely detached in the microcatheter.The procedure outcome was reported to be successful, and the patient stable with no reported injury.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The investigation of the returned coil system found the implant severely stretched at the proximal section and separated from the pusher, with no indications of activation using a detachment controller on the pusher heater coil.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.
