Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The investigation of the returned coil system found the implant completely stretched and separated from the pusher.The pusher was not returned for evaluation.The investigation found that the implant's monofilament showed 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 stretched implant, but stretching is consistent with the device experiencing forces exceeding the implant's yield strength.
