Additional information: d10 (date device returned), h6, h11 (device evaluation).No additional event information has been received.Investigation conclusion: the investigation of the returned web system found the heater coil windings stretched.The heater coil pet was found melted, indicating that the device was activated using a detachment controller during the procedure; therefore, the damage to the heater coil windings likely occurred post-activation.The stretched heater coil windings are an indication that the tether could have been caught in between the coil windings and caused the heater coil to stretch when the delivery system was pulled/retracted during the procedure.
