Corrected data: (h3)(d10) the pusher, introducer, and dispenser hoop were returned for analysis.The implant was found in the microcatheter.The implant was stretched and separated from the pusher.The implant separated due to retraction forces that exceeded the strength of the monofilament.The microcatheter contained multiple kinks.Investigation found the introducer to be in good condition and without damage.The pusher was found to have minor offsetting on the body coil approx.10" from the heater coil.The heater coil was found to burned, indicating attempted detachment.Contamination was additionally noted on the gold connector, creating intermittent contact with the v-grip.The reported complaint is confirmed.The physical evaluation of the returned coil system found the implant to be stretched, separated from the pusher, and returned stuck in the microcatheter.Based on the condition of the implant, the investigation determined that it had stretched and separated from the pusher due to it becoming stuck in a damaged microcatheter and then experiencing retraction forces that exceeded the strength of the coil winding and monofilament.
