Items returned for evaluation: delivery system (pusher), microcatheter.Items not returned for evaluation: web implant, introducer, dispenser hoop, controller.The visual analysis of the returned items found the implant to be separated from delivery system, and the hypotube kinked at the distal section.The implant was not returned for evaluation.The heater coil section was dissected to investigate any obstruction that could possibly prevent the implant from detaching.The heater coil was not found to be stretched; however, it did exhibit signs of activation using a detachment controller.Further investigation found the brown lead wire broken at the distal solder joint.Tested the returned device with an in-house controller and gave red lights.The delivery system resistance was measured to be ol (spec= 66-78), which is out of specification due to the broken lead wire.The investigation of the returned web system found the hypotube kinked at the distal section and the brown lead wire broken at the distal solder joint.The implant was not returned for evaluation as it was eventually detached as described in the reported event.The device failed continuity and resistance testing.However, the heater coil pet and tether were found burnt, indicating that the device was activated using a detachment controller during the procedure; therefore, the breakage of the brown lead wire at the distal solder joint likely occurred post-activation.The physical evaluation of the device could not identify the conditions or circumstances that led to the pusher and lead wire damage, but the damage is consistent with the device experiencing forces over specification.The detachment controller used in the procedure was not returned, so the investigation could not determine if it had caused or contributed to the reported complaint.
