This is initial/final mdr report being submitted for this complaint with associated mfr# 3008264254-2017-00052, 3008264254-2017-00040 and 3008264254-2017-00041.Additional procode krd.(b)(4).A non-sterile orbit galaxy cmplx xtrasoft coil 2.5x3.5 was received coiled inside of a plastic bag.The hypotube was inspected and no damages were noted on it.The introducer was received zipped and no damages were noted on it.The support coil was found inside the introducer and no damages were noted on it.The gripper and the embolic coil were found outside of the introducer.The introducer, gripper and the embolic coil were inspected under microscope; the introducer and the gripper were found without damage while the embolic coil was found stretched.The introducer can be un-zipped and re-zipped without problem.A review of the manufacturing documentation associated with this lot 17152125 presented no issues during the manufacturing process that can be related to the reported complaint.The failure reported by the customer as ¿coil introducer ¿ zipping difficulty re-zipping¿ was not confirmed.The stretched condition noted on the embolic coil was apparently caused by excessive force applied on the devices but it could not be conclusively determined.Neither the analysis nor the dhr suggest that the failure reported could be related to the manufacturing process; procedural factors appear to have contributed to this failure.No corrective action will be taken at this time.
