Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The investigation of the returned coil system found the implant damaged, deformed, separated from the pusher, and partially stuck within the returned microcatheter.The investigation found the implant's monofilament with a tensile break shape at the tip, which is consistent with the device experiencing 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 found flattened at 23cm and 27cm from proximal tip of strain relief, which may have caused or contributed to the separation of the coil from the pusher.
