H3.Product analysis: equipment used: vis (m-78210), 203cm ruler (m-83361) as found condition (condition of returned device): an axium implant coil was returned for analysis within a shipping box; within a sealed biohazard pouch and within an opened axium implant coil.The axium implant coil was returned within the introducer sheath.Visual inspection/damage location details: the actuator interface was found to be intact.This is indicative mechanical detachment attempts were not made.Upon inspection the axium implant coil pushwire was found to be kinked at load indicator ~3.2cm, kinked within introducer sheath at ~185.5cm and at ~171.3cm from proximal end.The coin was found still against the lumen stop.The shield coil was found intact with the implant coil still attached.The implant was found to be stretched and damaged.No other anomalies were observed.Testing/analysis (including sem reports): the distal outer jacket was removed, and a manual detachment was then attempted by retracting the release wire and the release wire successfully detached implant coil.Conclusion: based on the analysis performed, the customers report of ¿non-detachment¿ was confirmed as the pusher was returned with the implant coil still attached.However, the implant coil was successfully detached manually during testing.The likely cause for the non-detachment are the bends and kinks found on the pusher, causing the release wire to become stuck.The implant coil was found damaged, and the pusher was found bent/kinked.Possible causes for coil and pusher damage are patient vessel tortuosity, device was not hydrated, continuous flush was not administered during procedure, advancing device against resistance or damaged during shipment.H6.Coding updated based on analysis findings.Medtronic submits this report to comply with fda regulations 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to provide 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.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.Medtronic will submit a supplemental report if additional relevant information becomes known.
