Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The investigation of the returned coil system found the implant severely stretched at the proximal section and separated from the pusher.The pusher was not returned for evaluation.The investigation found that the implant's monofilament at the tie knot 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.The physical evaluation of the device could not identify the conditions or circumstances that led to the stretched implant but stretching is consistent with the device experiencing retraction 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.
