Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The investigation of the returned coil system found the pusher's strain relief damaged, and the implant stretched at the proximal section, separated from the pusher, and stuck inside the returned catheter.No indications of activation using a detachment controller was found on the pusher heater coil.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 damage and the stretched implant, but the damage is consistent with the device experiencing forces exceeding the strength of the pusher and implant's yield strength.The returned catheter did not exhibit any kinks or damage that would have caused or contributed to the reported advancement issue.
