H3: product analysis as found condition: the axium prime device was returned for analysis within a shipping box and within a sealed plastic biohazard pouch.The unknown micro catheter used in the event was not returned for analysis.Visual inspection/damage location details: the axium prime pusher was found broken between the positive load indicator and the break indicator with the release wire retracted.The coin was found fully retracted out of the lumen stop, the shield coil was found undamaged, and the implant coil was already detached and not returned for analysis.Testing/analysis: n/a conclusion: based on the device analysis and reported information, the customer¿s report of ¿coil stretch¿ could not be confirmed as the implant was already detached.The pusher was broken, the release wire was retracted, and the implant coil was detached as expected by the detachment subassemblies.Customer did not report detaching the device.Possible causes of coil stretching during the procedure are, lack of hydration before procedure, user does not maintain continuous flush, tortuous anatomy, coil not retracted in a one-to-one motion with the implant pusher during repositioning, pushwire rotation, user advances the coil against resistance, damaged micro catheter, or incompatible catheter.Customer reported vessel tortuosity as normal, and devices were prepared per ifu.As the unknown micro catheter used in the event was not returned for analysis, any contribution of the micro catheter towards the reported coil stretching could not be determined.As the model and lot numbers were not reported, compatibility could not be assessed.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.
