This initial/final mdr will be the only report submitted for mfr report #3013875781-2017-00032.Procode: krd/hcg.(b)(4).This event was deemed mdr reportable based on the failure investigation findings (below).Conclusion: the device was returned in a loop with the embolic coil tangled around the dpu core wire.There is a slight bend in the core wire approximately 104 cm from the proximal end.The resheathing tool is broken.The core wire protrudes from the translucent introducer from the resheathing tool almost to the green introducer.Most of the embolic coil is exposed out the distal end of the green introducer.The ball tip of the embolic coil is intact.The embolic coil is kinked.The proximal end of the embolic coil is inside the green introducer.A review of manufacturing documentation associated with this lot presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection processes related to the reported complaint.There were no non-conformances related to device manufacture or inspection.All rejected product was identified as scrap and properly accounted for.The complaint that the device could not be resheathed is confirmed.With the dpu core wire protruded from the translucent introducer sheath distal to the resheathing tool, resheathing cannot occur.The evidence of the broken resheathing tool suggests that excessive force was applied during the attempted resheathing.The force caused the dpu core wire to emerge from the skive of the translucent introducer, which would then prevent any further attempt at resheathing.The exact circumstances of the event are unknown, so the cause of excessive force application cannot be ascertained.There is no current safety signal identified related to the reported event based on review of complaint history for the device.Therefore, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.
