The concerto implant coil was the only item returned for analysis.There was no pusher, microcatheter, or accessories returned with the implant coil device.The implant coil was found to be damaged and stretched with the polypropylene filament broken.The detached element was not returned and missing from the proximal end of the coil.No other anomalies were observed.Based on the analysis, the complaint was not confirmed.The event cause could not be determined.In addition, the returned coil was found damaged and stretched with the polypropylene filaments broken.The cause for damage could not be determined.Since the pusher, the detached element and the microcatheter were not returned; any contribution from the pusher, the detached element and the microcatheter could not be determined.Per instructions for use (ifu): ¿damaged implant delivery pusher and/or coils may affect coil delivery to, and stability inside, the vessel or aneurysm, possibly resulting in coil migration or stretching.Do not rotate the implant delivery pusher during or after delivery of the coil into the aneurysm.Rotating the delivery pusher during or after coil delivery into the aneurysm may result in a stretched coil or premature detachment of the coil from the implant delivery pusher, which could result in coil migration.Due to the delicate nature of the concerto¿ detachable coil, the tortuous vascular pathways that lead to certain aneurysms and vessels, and the varying morphologies of intracranial aneurysms, a coil may occasionally stretch while being maneuvered.Stretching is a precursor to potential malfunctions such as coil breakage and migration.¿ medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
