Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The investigation of the returned coil system found that the pusher was returned with no implant attached.However, no indications of activation using a detachment controller were found on the pusher heater coil.The implant was not returned for evaluation as the distal section remained inside the patient's body as described in the reported event.Consequently, the investigation could not verify the location of the proximal portion of the implant since no implant was attached to the pusher upon receipt.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.
