The pusher was returned for evaluation; however the implant coil was not attached to the pusher and was not returned.The introducer and v-grip were not returned.The strain relief on the distal heater coil section appeared burnt.The gold connector had a kink on epoxy (e3) joint.Resistance of the system was measured, and noted to be in conformance.The pusher was broken at the pet transition.The attachment tether was removed from within the body coil to expose the kind of detachment the device underwent.Since the monofilament had a mushroom and had a rebound of 0.180', it indicated a thermal detachment investigation of the device confirmed there was a thermal detachment of the implant coil, although it was reported that the coil did not initially detach.There were no discrepancies noted on the device, and other than the detached coil, the device was in specification.A root cause for the unexpected detachment cannot be determined, as conditions of use cannot be recreated in the laboratory setting and the coil was already detached from the pusher upon return.
