Product analysis: as found condition (condition of returned device): a concerto coil was returned for analysis within a shipping box; within a sealed plastic bag and within an opened concerto implant coil inner pouch.The unknown micro catheter used in the event was not returned.The implant coils were returned within their introducer sheaths.Visual inspection/damage location details: the concerto coil pushwire was found to be kinked at ~ 5.5cm and pushwire broken but retained by release wire at ~149.2cm from proximal end.The implant coil was found to be stretched and damaged within introducer sheath.The axium implant coil was unable to be pushed out of introducer sheath for further analysis as it was found to be stuck.All other subassemblies appeared to be normal, and no other anomalies were observed.Testing/analysis (including sem reports): the concerto coils could not be used for resistance testing with an in-house micro catheter due to their damaged condition.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.
