H3: the concerto implant coil was returned within the introducer sheath.The actuator interface was found to be intact and attached to the coupler tube.The break indicator was found to be intact.There appeared to be no evidence of mechanical detachment using an instant detacher at this location.No bends or kinks were found with the concerto pushwire.This is indicative that a manual detachment was not attempted.The coin was found still against the lumen stop.The shield coil was found intact with the implant coil still attached.The implant coil was found stretched and damaged with the polypropylene filament intact.No other anomalies were observed.The concerto coil was then used for testing with the instant detacher.No difficulty was experienced inserting the pushwire into the instant detacher, and the load indicator was not visible when the pushwire was fully seated in the instant detacher cap.The implant coil was detached after the first attempt without issue.Based on the analysis performed, the concerto coil was confirmed to have non-detachment as the pushwire was returned with the implant coil still attached.However, the implant coils were successfully detached manually during testing.Since the instant detacher was not returned, any contributing factors of the instant detacher to the non-detachment could not be determined.Medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
