This is initial/final mdr being submitted for this complaint with associated mfr# 2954740-2017-00048.(b)(4).Limited information was received.The unidentified detachment control box (dcb) and the unknown connecting cable were 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.It is also unknown if the device was improperly handled for returned packaging or was further manipulated and/or inspected post-procedurally.In addition, any trace or other evidence that may have been complaint related may have been altered or removed prior to being returned due to post-procedural handling, cleaning, and packaging.All location and measurement callouts are approximate and for reference only.The device positioning unit (dpu) failed electrical testing with resistance at 32.9 ohms (range 48.5/56.0) and the sample enpower and cable systems ready green light failed to illuminate (deltaplush ifu).No manufacturing defects were found.The complaint of the microcoil system failing the pre-deployment electrical test is confirmed.The dpu failed electrical testing.While the exact root cause of the unit failing the pre-deployment electrical test cannot be determined, the evidence as received suggests that the most likely contributing factor to the pre-deployment electrical test failure may have been due to damage to the wiring including a possible fracture to the solder joint connection inside the resistive heating coil section.The circumstances of how and when this damage occurred cannot be determined as all microcoil systems are electrically tested prior to final packaging.In addition, without the return of the complete detachment system used in the procedure, it cannot be determined if these components had any additional contributions to the complaint event.A review of the manufacturing documentation associated with this lot (s10686) presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection process that can be related to the reported complaint.Based on the information and the analysis, the reported event of the coil delivery system giving a system fault was confirmed, the device positioning unit failed electrical testing.The root cause could not be determined however based on the analysis the contributing factor to the event may have been a fracture of the solder joint connection.Without return of concomitant products it cannot be determined if those components had any additional contributions to the complaint event.Additionally, review of this lot presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection process that can be related to the reported complaint.Therefore, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.

As reported by a healthcare professional, during the procedure a deltaplush cerecyte 10 sys coil 1.5 x 2 failed to detach.The procedure was coil embolization of a choroidal aneurysm of size 3.5 x 4.2 mm.The coil delivery system caused dcb ¿fault¿ when connected after inserted into patient and the coil was removed.No detachments were attempted.A pre-deployment electrical check was performed, the green system ready light did not illuminate all connections appeared to fit properly without application of excessive force.The complaint coil was withdrawn and a new coil was used to complete the procedure.The same connecting cable and detachment box were used successfully with subsequent coils.There were no damages noted on the coil/coil delivery system/detachment system prior to use or upon removal.The coil was still attached to the delivery system when removed from patient and no stretching was noted.There was no report on patient injury.It was initially reported that the complaint coil is available for return.
