(b)(4).Information regarding patient age, gender, weight could not be obtained.Conclusion: the deltamaxx was returned for analysis.The unspecified enpower detachment control box (dcb) and the connecting cable were not returned.The unidentified microcatheter was not returned.Concerning cleanliness only, the microcoil system was returned in almost pristine condition.The system was either not used or was cleaned before being returned which may have produced further damage.The coil was returned undamaged.The detachment fiber did not receive heat and melt.The device positioning unit (dpu) passed electrical testing with resistance at 52.2 ohms (range 48.5/56.0), and the lab sample enpower and cable systems ready green light illuminated.The coil detached on the first detachment cycle.Post-detachment inspection found that the enpower systems ready green light remained illuminated and the resistance passed at 52.4 ohms.The field complaint of the coils non-detachment could not be duplicated.Post-detachment inspection found that the detachment fiber received heat and melted as designed.No manufacturing defects were found.A review of the manufacturing documentation associated with this lot (c32741) presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection process that can be related to the reported complaint.The complaint of the coils non-detachment could not be confirmed.The dpu passed electrical testing and the coil was detached on the first detachment cycle; therefore the root cause of the coils non-detachment could not be determined.In addition, without the return of the complete detachment system and the unidentified microcatheter used in the procedure, it cannot be determined if these components contributed to the complaint event.Since there was no evidence of a manufacturing issue related to the event, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.This is an initial/final mdr report.

As reported by a healthcare professional, during coil embolization of an unknown target vessel, the deltamaxx coil (cdx18062530/ c32741) could not be detached.They withdrew the coil completely, without additional intervention, and used a new coil to complete the procedure.There had been no resistance between the deltamaxx and the unspecified microcatheter.A continuous flush had been maintained through the microcatheter.An enpower dcb and enpower cable were used for the procedure and were used to complete the procedure.A pre-deployment check had been performed.Upon pressing the power button, all lights did not illuminate.The green system ready light illuminated.During detachment cycle, the detachment light did not illuminate and the audible signal did not beep.All connections appeared to fit properly without application of excessive force.There was no report of patient injury or clinically significant delay in the procedure.
