Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The healthcare professional reported that during the procedure, the orbit galaxy complex fill coil (640cf0515 / 17625445) became stretched.The coil was withdrawn and another coil was used to complete the procedure.There was no report of patient injury.The non-sterile orbit galaxy tdl complex fill coil 5x15 was received coiled inside of a pouch.The hypotube was inspected and no damages were noted on it.The introducer was found unzipped.The support coil, the gripper and the embolic coil were found outside of the introducer.The gripper and embolic coil were inspected under microscope; no damages were noted on the gripper.The embolic coil was found stretched and the suture was found broken.The edges of the broken section of the suture show evidence that appear that it was elongated before it was broken.A review of the manufacturing documentation associated with lot 1765445 presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection process that can be related to the reported complaint.The customer reported failure of the coil being unraveled / stretched during placement was confirmed.The cause of the coil stretched condition was mostly due to excessive force applied on the device.Procedural related factors and handling process appeared to have contributed to the reported failure.The exact cause of the failure cannot be conclusively determined.The reported failure could not be related to the manufacturing process as there are additional inspections in placed to prevent these kinds of failure from leaving the facility.There is no current safety signal identified related to the reported event based on review of complaint history for the device.Since there was no evidence to suggest the event was related to a manufacturing or design issue, no corrective actions will be taken at this time.
