Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The coil implant was returned for analysis; the pusher was not returned.The implant portion was noted to be in a helical shape, and had minimal evidence of hydrogel expansion.The proximal 1cm segment was noted to have a stretched overcoil and a stretched primary wind.The proximal monofilament knot tie was noted to be intact on the implant.Dissection of the proximal end of the implant indicated a tensile failure of the monofilament.Based on the investigation, the complaint could not be confirmed, as the monofilament showed evidence of tensile break and not a premature detachment.The investigation was limited by the pusher that was not returned, which made it impossible to assess the monofilament end to verify the failure mode.
