Product analysis #(b)(4):equipment used: vis (m-78210), 203cm ruler (m-83361) document used: n/a as found condition (condition of returned device): an axium prime coil was returned within a shipping box; within a resealable biohazard bag and within a secondary resealable biohazard bag.The axium prime coil returned without introducer sheath.Visual inspection/damage location details: the actuator interface was found to broken.This is indicative of mechanical detachment using an instant detacher at this location.The axium prime pushwire was found to be separated at ~6.1cm and kinked at ~17.5cm from broken proximal end.This is indicative that manual detachments were attempted at these locations.The coin was found still against the lumen stop with what appeared to be blood underneath the outer jacket.The shield coil was found intact with the implant coil still attached.The implant coil was found to be stretched and damaged with the polypropylene filament intact.No other anomalies were observed.Testing/analysis (including sem reports): the distal outer jacket was removed, and a manual detachment was then attempted by retracting the release wire and the release wire was successfully detached.The lumen stop and retainer ring were found to be visually in good condition.Conclusion: based on the analysis performed, the axium prime coil was confirmed to have non-detachment as the pushwire was returned with the implant coil still attached.However, the implant coil was successfully detached manually during testing.The likely cause for the non-detachment are the bends and kinks found on the pusher, causing the release wire to become stuck.The implant coil was found damaged, and the pusher was found bent/kinked.Possible causes for coil and pusher damage are patient vessel tortuosity, device was not hydrated, continuous flush was not administered during procedure, advancing device against resistance or damaged during shipment as the device was returned without its dispenser coil.Since the instant detacher was not returned, any contributing factors of the instant detacher to the non-detachment 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.
