The lot number was provided.A review of the approved device history records indicated the lot met all release criteria.The implant coil was returned for evaluation, and it was not attached to the delivery pusher.The delivery pusher was not returned for analysis.Images taken under magnification confirm the proximal end of the implant coil is stretched.It is unknown at what point during the procedure the coil became stretched.The method of the detachment cannot be determined; however, the coil exhibits evidence of being subjective to a force that exceeded its maximum tensile specification.The investigation is inconclusive and the root cause is unknown.
