The device was returned for evaluation.Analysis revealed evidence the coil was stretched starting approximately 2.5cm from distal end of coil, and continuing to the knot-tie at the proximal end.The knot and monofilament were noted to be intact and connected to pusher.The strain relief was slightly folded on one side.There was no evidence of damage to the pusher.Based on the investigation and provided information, the complaint of a detached implant cannot be confirmed.The implant coil was attached to the pusher and not broken; however, the coil was noted to be stretched.The specific root cause of this complaint cannot be determined.
