It was reported that: "the physician while placing the third coil a 4x7 optimax css behind an atlas stent.When the doctor tried to pull back and reposition he noted the coil popped and detached prematurely.He then cut the proximal end of the sl-10 and took a 4 mm snare with a unsuccessful snare.He then went back in with the snare and was able to grab the coil and bring out through the navien 058.And continued to coil." update 21aug2024 - additional information received from the issuer: "1) the anatomy was not tortuous.2) the micro catheter will be available for return.It has been cut to facilitate rail for the snare but both pieces will be sent back.3) the coil detached with about half of it still in the microcatheter and half of it deployed out of the catheter." incident report form submitted for this complaint indicates that no patient injury was sustained.

Balt usa reference # (b)(4).The returned device was inspected in our quality laboratory.During our analysis: we observed the implant coil and introducer sheath was not included with the device return; we observed the microcather was included with the device return; we observed upon return of the coil system, the implant coil was detached from the delivery pusher; we observed no sign of detachment cycle being ran; we observed no visual damage to the detachment zone with the pet jacket, lead wires and solder joints intact; we observed multiple minor kinks along the hypotube; we observed the microcatheter to be covered in blood; we observed the microcatheter is cut.Approximately, 7cm distal from the microcatheter hub; we conducted destructive testing of the delivery pusher to reveal the detachment profile of the sr thread; we observed the tip of the sr thread experienced necking - indicating the thread endured an overload in tensile stress.Root cause of the reported issue can likely be attributed to an overload of tensile stress exerted on the implant coil.Upon return of the device, we observed no sign of detachment cycle being ran.In addition, we observed the profile of the distal tip of the sr thread to indicate that the thread endured an overload in tensile stress.Without the return of the implant coil its exact condition is unknown, however it is possible that the implant coil had become damaged during attempts to introduce the coil system, then resulting attempts to retract the delivery pusher ultimately led to the premature detachment.If the implant coil were to become damaged, this could have caused excessive friction to be endured by the implant coil, causing resistance within the microcatheter hub.It is indicated in the lhr that the unit underwent 100% inspection which verifies that the implant was free of damage at the point of final inspection.Review of the lot history records did not reveal any in-process or lot-specific issue that could account for the observation.No additional complaint against lot number f220900123 has been made for the same issue.Comprehensive analysis of this failure mode has remained subject to monitoring for any unacceptable increase in trend.The submission of this report or related information to the fda, and its release by fda, does not reflect a conclusion by the party submitting this report of the fda that the report or related information is an admission that the manufacturer, their employees, or the device caused or contributed to the reportable event.
