The automated manufacturing execution system (mes) has controls in the manufacturing process to ensure the product met specifications upon release.The device history record review confirms that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.Visual inspection performed on the returned device revealed that the main coil was severely stretched and detached from the delivery wire and the coil suture was found damaged.In addition, the coil delivery wire was found to be kinked/bent.Functional testing was not required as the reported defects were confirmed.Based on the information provided in the complaint and the device analysis, it is most likely that the coil encountered resistance from procedural factors when it was retracted into the microcatheter which then caused it to further stretch, resulting in suture damage and mechanically detachment during manipulation.Therefore, a probable cause of procedural factors will be assigned to the as reported events.It can be presumed that the delivery wire was kinked during the procedure as excessive force may have been applied at the proximal end of the device during retraction.Therefore, a probable cause of handling damage will be assigned.The reported event is covered in the device directions for use (dfu).Also, 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.Based on the investigation results and available information an assignable cause of procedural factors will be assigned to the alleged complaint.
