Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that an embolization coil implant would not deploy.The coil was positioned but the physician decided to remove and resheath it to reposition his microcatheter.Upon removal the physician noted that the coil had detached.The coil was close to where the physician wanted it to be, just not packed appropriately.There was no negative impact from the coil detaching early and before the physician wanted it.The procedure was successful, not prolonged, and the patient had an uneventful recovery.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
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.The implant was not returned for evaluation.Further inspection found the pusher to be kinked with lead wire separation at the proximal section.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 pusher kink, 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.
