It was reported that during the procedure, the subject coil was detached to frame the aneurysm; however, the coil completely changed its shaped and became stretched then went through the first stent that was placed and into the parent vessel.Another stent was placed successfully to push back the stretched coil into the aneurysm.The procedure was not completed entirely, the patient needs more coil and the physician is planning to treat the aneurysm in several months.The patient is currently doing good and no known clinical consequences were reported due to this event.

The electronic device history record (edhr) review confirms that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The reported complaint could not be confirmed, and it could not be definitively determined if the device failed to meet specifications because the product was not returned.The reported event is covered in the device directions for use (dfu).As well, the risk of the reported event is documented in the risk documentation and there are current controls to mitigate the risk of the as reported event.As detailed in 90717497 ¿phoenix 3 coil shape and performance analysis¿ rev.Aa, secondary coil shape post-secondary heat treatment and prior to suture insertion and sterilization represents a low energy, stress free state.The addition of suture through the lumen of the coil, subsequent suture straightening and confinement within the introducer sheath can result in stress additional to thisstress-free state after secondary heat treatment.The ability of the coil to return to this stress-free state will depend on its spring back force being high enough to overcome the force required to bend the straightened suture.Target nano coils cannot return to a low energy, stress free state i.E.Pre-set shape, due to use of smaller 0.00125¿ pt/w wire leading to low spring back force.However, coils are subject to compressive loads during deployment and because of their pre-set shape target nano coils buckle at pre-set bending points along their length.Sr suture and subsequent sterilization have no impact on the pre-set bending diameter of target nano coils and therefore do not factor in how the coil performs during deployment.Conclusions to physician evaluations as referenced in 90717497 confirm that target nano coils retain their 360 and helical behaviour even though they appear misshaped.Based on analysis in this report, pre-set bending diameter can be determined through the measurement of secondary coil od post heat treatment or post sterilization with sr removal.It is possible that when the main was implanted it took the intentional shape as described above, but this cannot be conclusively determined.It is also possible that anatomical or procedural factors encountered during the procedure contributed to the reported event, but this cannot be conclusively determined.While there are a number of potential causes for the reported issue main coil stretched, and main coil migration, because review and analysis of available information failed to identify a definitive cause, a cause of undeterminable was assigned.The reported patient medical or surgical intervention required is a known and anticipated complications to these types of procedures and patient condition and are listed as such in the device directions for use.Therefore, a probable cause of anticipated procedural complication was assigned to this event.
