It was reported that an embolization coil was used in an unspecified procedure.The coil prematurely detached from the pusher inside the microcatheter.The physician was not able to deploy the device and removed the microcatheter and the coil together in one piece from the patient.The physician had to regain access with a new microcatheter to complete the procedure.It was also indicated that they did not precheck the coil with the detacher and there was no issue with removing the coil from the plastic hoop.There was no report of harm or injury to the patient and stated to be good.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation conclusion: the investigation of the returned coil system found the pusher heater coil damaged, and the implant separated from the pusher with no indications of activation using a detachment controller on the pusher heater coil.Further inspection found the pusher bodycoil offset/overlapping at the distal section and the pusher hypotube kinked at the warning mark area.The implant was not returned for evaluation.The pusher'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 pusher damage, but the damage is consistent with the device experiencing forces exceeding the pusher's yield strength.The microcatheter used in the procedure was not returned, so the investigation could not determine if it had caused or contributed to the reported complaint.
