The device was received for evaluation, without the pusher.The implant coil revealed a portion of the attachment monofilament, as it was separated from the delivery pusher.The implant was noted to be bent with a deformed secondary loop, which is likely due to being retrieved with the snare device.A firm conclusion could not be drawn from review of the fluoroscopic images provided.Based on the investigation and provided information, the complaint can be confirmed.The specific root cause of this complaint is not known.
