(b)(4).As reported by a healthcare professional, the 6mm x 20cm orbit galaxy tdl complex fill (640cf0620/17697694) hydraulic coil stretched during the coil embolization procedure.The physician removed the coil without incident and used another same-sized coil to complete the procedure successfully.No patient complications occurred as a result of the event.Multiple attempts to obtain additional information were unsuccessful.The device was not available for analysis.A review of the manufacturing documentation associated with this lot presented no issues during the manufacturing or inspection process that can be related to the reported complaint.With the limited information available and without the product available for analysis, the reported customer complaint could not be confirmed.Based on the device history record review, there is no indication that the event is related to the manufacturing process of the unit.Stretching of the embolic coil is a known potential failure associated with the use of the device.The instructions for use (ifu) contains several cautions relating to this situation, including instructions for troubleshooting the situation should it be encountered during use.The ifu states the following: ¿visually examine the microcoil for any anomalies such as kinks, burrs, stretched coil, striations, or other damages.If any anomalies are noted or if there is difficulty advancing the microcoil from the introducer sheath, the unit may be defective.Repackage the microcoil and return the entire device for replacement.¿ assignment of root cause for the event remains speculative and inconclusive, based on the minimal information provided; however, it is possible that procedural and handling factors, including device manipulation, 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.
