The lot number was provided.A review of the approved device history records indicated the lot met all release criteria.A lot history trending review was performed and there were no similar complaints for this lot number.The device was returned for evaluation.The implant coil was detached from the delivery pusher.The attachment tether was fully retracted into the marker band.The implant coil was stretched from the implant tie knot throughout the length of the coil.The tie knot was still present and the implant coil was complete, including the distal ball/uv glue, marker band, stretch resistance member, and the implant gel.The distal end of the pusher appeared to be within specifications.The proximal end of the pusher was cut at the hypotube distal of the gold connector.Based on the provided information, the reported difficulty during coil placement was unconfirmed, as the conditions of use in the patient cannot be recreated during bench testing; however, the investigation findings are comparable in nature as to cases in which the applied force during the retraction of the coil overcame the tensile strength of the device/materials.
