Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device history record (dhr) review confirmed that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The subject device was not returned; therefore, physical as well as a functional evaluation could not be performed.Information available indicated that there was no damage noted to the device prior to use and the device was prepared as per device directions for use (dfu).However, the information also indicated that the coil was repositioned during procedure and the device dfu states that coil should be repositioned only if necessary as it can cause damage to coil, possibly leading to the reported premature detachment.Based on the information provided, the reported coil premature detachment during use is most likely related to some procedural factors which limited the performance of the device.Therefore, it was determined that the reported event was related to operational context.
