Additional Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).[conclusion]: the healthcare professional reported that during the embolization procedure of an intracranial aneurysm, the microsphere 10 platinum coil 6mm x 11.9cm (b)(4) was found stretched; the issue occurred during the insertion of the coil through the microcatheter (unknown brand).It was not reported if there was any resistance between the guidewire and the microcatheter during the attempt to access the target site.There was no resistance at any time during the advancement of the microsphere coil through the microcatheter; continuous flush was maintained through the microcatheter.There was no kink on the microcatheter that could have contributed to the reported stretched condition of the coil.The entire coil was successfully removed without any other additional damage observed.There was no reduction or restriction of blood flow associated with the reported issue.Another coil was used to complete the procedure; no significant clinical delay was reported.There was no report of any patient injury or consequence.Based on complaint information, the device was not available to be returned for analysis.A review of manufacturing documentation associated with this (c22165) lot presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection processes related to the reported complaint.There were no nonconformances related to device manufacture or inspection.All product rejected during manufacturing was identified as scrap and properly accounted for.Product analysis cannot be conducted as the product was not returned for analysis.No determination of causes and possible contributing factors could be made.As such, the investigation will be closed.With the limited information available and without the product available for analysis, the reported customer complaint that the microsphere 10 platinum coil 6mm x 11.9cm was stretched could not be confirmed.Based on the device history record review, there is no indication that the event is related to the device manufacturing process.The exact cause of the event could not be conclusively determined; however, it is possible that circumstances of the procedure and/or device manipulation/interaction may have contributed to the reported failure.As part of the post market surveillance program, information from this complaint is trended for statistical signals and corrective/preventive action may be triggered at a later time.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.The manufacturer will submit a supplemental report if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.Additional information will be submitted within 30 days of receipt.
