H3: product analysis: equipment used: video inspection system (m-85519), ruler (m-83360) drawing(s) referenced: (b)(4).U as found condition: the concerto device and unknown non-medtronic stent retrieval device were returned for analysis within a shipping box, within a sealed plastic biohazard pouch and within an opened concerto inner pouch.Visual inspection/damage location details: the actuator interface was found securely attached to the coupler tube.The break indicator was found unbroken.There were no evidence of detachment attempts at these locations.The pusher was found kinked at ~7.8cm from the proximal end.The coin was found still against the lumen stop.The shield coil was found undamaged.The implant coil was already detached and entrapped within the stent retrieval device.The implant coil was found damaged and stretched with the polypropylene filament broken.The retainer ring was found slightly damaged.The detach element was found flattened.Testing/analysis: the release wire was extending out the retainer ring ~0.004¿, which is still within specification (specification: 0.002¿-0.005¿).The inner diameter of the retainer ring could not be reliably measured.The detach element ball was found flattened.Conclusion: based on the analysis performed, the customer report of ¿premature detachment" was confirmed.It is likely the damaged retainer ring and detach element ball caused the detach element to exit the ring, detaching the implant.Possible causes of damages include, but not limited to, patient vessel tortuosity, coil not retracted in a one-to-one motion with the implant pusher during repositioning, pushwire rotation or advancing/retracting the device against resistance.The likely cause could not be determined.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.
