Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Additional event description information reported in section b5.Investigation conclusion: the investigation of the returned coil system found the pusher returned without the implant attached, but no indications of activation using a detachment controller was found on the pusher heater coil.Further inspection found the pusher bent at the middle section.The implant was not returned for evaluation.The investigation found the pusher¿s monofilament with a tensile break shape at the tip, which is consistent with the device experiencing force that exceeded the strength of the monofilament causing the implant to separate from the pusher.The physical evaluation of the device could not identify the conditions or circumstances that led to the bent pusher, but the damage is consistent with the device experiencing forces exceeding the pusher's yield strength.The catheter used in the procedure was not returned, so the investigation could not determine if it had caused or contributed to the reported complaint.
