Please note that the following section was incorrectly reported on the initial mfr report and is being corrected on this follow-up # 01 mfr report.Section h.Box 6.Device code 1.Results: the pet lock was intact on the proximal end of the pusher assembly.The pusher assembly was kinked at approximately 15.0 cm, 32.0 cm and 35.0 cm from the proximal end.The embolization coil was intact with the pusher assembly and had offset coil winds.The introducer sheath was not returned for evaluation.The outer diameter of the pusher assembly was measured and was within specification.Conclusions: the evaluation of the first returned smart coil revealed pusher assembly kinks and offset coil winds along the embolization coil.This damage typically occurrs due to forceful manipulation or mishandling of the device.The reported allegation is unclear; therefore, the root cause of the issue experienced was unable to be determined.Penumbra coils are visually inspected during in-process inspection and during quality inspection after manufacturing.The manufacturing records for this lot were reviewed and did not reveal any outstanding discrepancies, design, or quality concerns.Section h.Box 6.Device code 1:3191 - appropriate code is not available to describe deployment issue.Section h.Box 6.Conclusions code 1:4316 - the investigation findings do not lead to a clear conclusion about the root cause of deployment issue.
