Balt usa reference: #(b)(4).The returned device was inspected in our quality laboratory.During our analysis: - we observed only the implant coil was included with the device return.- we observed the delivery pusher and introducer sheath was not returned.- we observed multiple major kinks and stretching along the implant coil.- we noted the associated microcatheter was not included in the device return.Root cause of the reported issue endured by the coil system cannot definitively be determined due to the incomplete device return.Upon return of the device, we observed only the implant coil was returned for analysis without the associated delivery pusher and introducer sheath.We observed multiple minor kinks along the implant coil in addition to stretching, however the exact timing of when this damaged occurred is unknown.Based on the complaint description, it was indicated that "physician understands it may be due to the stress that was put on the coil".Without the return of the delivery pusher used during the event, further evaluation of the internal sr thread could not be performed to confirm the characteristics of the thread.Review of the lot history records did not reveal any in-process or lot-specific issue that could account for the observation.No additional complaints against lot number f250100514 has been made for the same issue.Comprehensive analysis of this failure mode has remained subject to monitoring for any unacceptable increase in trend.The submission of this report or related information to the fda, and its release by fda, does not reflect a conclusion by the party submitting this report of the fda that the report or related information is an admission that the manufacturer, their employees, or the device caused or contributed to the reportable event.
