The device history record review confirms that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.Analysis of the returned device revealed that the main coil was mechanically detached from the delivery wire and it was kinked.Additionally, the delivery wire and proximal contact were kinked likely due to the handling during use.The functional test could not be performed due to the condition of the returned device.Information available indicated that the resistance was encountered when the coil was advanced through the microcatheter and the coil was repositioned approximately eight times before removal.It is possible that the main coil was damaged and detached while being removed.Based on the information available and analysis, an assignable cause of operational context was assigned to this investigation.
