Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The investigation of the returned coil system found the pusher heater coil damaged, and the implant stretched at the proximal section and separated from the pusher; however, no indications of activation using a detachment controller was found 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 returned for evaluation, so the investigation could not determine if it had caused or contributed to the reported complaint.
