The device history record (dhr) review confirmed that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.Analysis of the device confirmed that the coil was detached from the delivery wire and the coil was found to be kinked.Functional testing was not performed due to the damage noted to the returned device.Information available indicated that the device was confirmed to be in good condition prior to use.It is most likely that anatomical factors encountered during the procedure contributed to the reported detachment of the coil resulting in the reported and observed defects.Therefore, an assignable cause of operational context was assigned to this investigation.
