Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation conclusion the investigation of the returned coil system found the implant coils stretched at the middle section with the monofilament and gel exposed, separated from the pusher and entangled on a snare device.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.This condition is consistent with the coil becoming stuck or experiencing friction during repositioning within the aneurysm (i.E.Stuck on previously implanted coils or the tip of the microcatheter).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, so the investigation could not determine if it had caused or contributed to the reported complaint.
