As reported: the eye artery segment aneurysm was 3.8mm*2.7mm, and the first coil 3*6 was filled, followed by 2*3, 1.5*3 and finally, the closing coil 1*2.After the closing coil was delivered into the aneurysm, the coil detached.When the pusher was pulled back, it was found that the coil did not detach normally, and many attempts to detach afterwards failed.When the coil was removed, it was found that the coil detached in the microcatheter.The embolization was completed after the microcatheter was re-used and a new coil 1*2 was used for replacement.Patient is normal.

Items returned for evaluation: pusher; implant; introducer, items not returned for evaluation: shrink lock; dispenser hoop; microcatheter; v-grip.The visual analysis of the returned device found that the pusher was returned without the implant attached and the pusher heater coil showed signs of activation using a detachment controller.The implant was returned stretched, damaged, and separated from the pusher.The device was tested with a continuity test using an in-house v-grip controller, and all tries gave out green lights.The pusher resistance was measured and found to be within specification, and proximal resistance was within specification.The investigation found the pusher's monofilament with a mushroom profile, which indicates that the implant did detach from thermal activation.The investigation of the returned coil system found the implant stretched, damaged, and separated from the pusher.The unit passed continuity and resistance testing.The pusher heater coil was found to have visible burn marks; furthermore, the investigation found the pusher¿s monofilament profiled a mushroom shape, which indicates the implant detached from thermal activation.The investigation of the returned device did not find any damage or other anomaly that would have caused or contributed to the reported complaint.However, as the microcatheter and detachment controller used in the procedure were not returned for evaluation, the investigation could not determine if a condition existed that would have caused or contributed to the reported complaint and therefore, this complaint is considered non-verifiable.The physical evaluation of the device could not identify the conditions or circumstances that led to the implant damage, but the damage is consistent with the device experiencing forces over specification.
