Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product analysis: as found condition (condition of returned device): a concerto implant coil was returned within a shipping box; within an opened plastic biohazard bag; within an opened plastic bag; within an opened concerto implant coil outer carton and within a secondary opened plastic bag.The concerto implant coil was returned within introducer sheath.Visual inspection/damage location details: the actuator interface was found to be intact and attached to the coupler tube.There appeared to be no evidence of mechanical detachment using an instant detacher at this location.The concerto pushwire was found to be bent within introducer sheath at ~128.6cm, out of introducer sheath at ~156.5cm from broken proximal end.The coin was found still against the lumen stop with what appeared to be blood residue underneath the outer jacket.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.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 was successfully detached.Conclusion: 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 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.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 as the device was returned without its dispenser coil.Since the instant detacher was not returned, any contributing factors of the instant detacher to the non-detachment could not be determined.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.
