Product analysis # (b)(4): equipment used: video inspection system (m-85519), ruler (m-83361), camera (panasonic lumix dmc-zs5) as found condition: the axium prime device was returned for analysis within a shipping box; within a sealed plastic biohazard pouch and within a dispenser coil.The implant coil was already detached and returned within the same plastic biohazard pouch.The instant detacher used during the event was not returned for analysis.Visual inspection/damage location details: the break indicator was found kinked and broken.The proximal segment (including the actuator interface) was not returned for analysis (figure c).This break is indicative of a manual detachment attempt.The coin and release wire were fully retracted out of the lumen stop/pusher and not returned for analysis.The shield coil was found stretched.The already detached implant coil was found stretched and damaged with the polypropylene filament retracted within the damaged implant.No damages were found with the lumen stop.Dried blood was found within the lumen stop.No damages or irregularities were found with the detach element or detach element ball.Testing/analysis ¿ the lumen stop inner diameter was measured to be 0.0029¿, which is within specification (specification: 0.00220¿ ¿ 0.0029¿).The detach element ball outer diameter was measured to be 0.0038¿, which is within specification (specification: 0.0038¿ ± 0.00010¿).Conclusion - based on the customer report and device analysis, the customer report of "non-detachment" could not be confirmed as the device was returned with the implant already detached.However, the reported non-detachment could not be ruled out.Dried blood was found within the lumen stop, potentially contributing towards a non-detachment.The shield coil was found stretched.It is possible that the damaged shield coil became entangled with the proximal implant coil, causing the implant to not fully separate from the pusher during detachment attempts.Possible causes for shield coil stretching are lack of hydration before procedure, user does not maintain continuous flush, tortuous anatomy, coil not retracted in a one-to-one motion with the implant pusher during repositioning, pushwire rotation, user advances against resistance, incompatible micro catheter, or damaged micro catheter.The likely cause could not be determined.The proximal pusher, release wire/coin, and instant detacher used in the event was not returned for analysis.Therefore, any contribution of the subassemblies and instant detacher towards the non-detachment and conformance to specification 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.
