An embolization coil was returned for inspection; however, the visual inspection of the coil revealed that the coil was helical in shape with fibers extending from the primary wind, which confirms the returned device is not the device associated with the reported complaint.As the actual complaint device was not returned for evaluation, the reported complaint could not be confirmed.The root cause could not be determined.
