Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information: h6, h11 (device evaluation).No additional clinical information was received.Investigation conclusion: the investigation of the returned coil system found the implant stretched at the proximal end, and the pusher outer sleeve damaged at approximately 82cm from the heater coil; however, the implant coil was found to still be attached to the pusher upon receipt.The investigation of the returned device did not find any damage or other anomaly that would have caused the reported premature detachment issue.The physical evaluation of the device could not identify the conditions or circumstances that led to the stretched implant and pusher damage, but the damage is consistent with the device experiencing forces exceeding the implant and pusher's yield strength.
