Please note that the following section is being updated based on additional information provided by a penumbra sales representative on 04/23/2020: 1.Section b.Box 5.Describe event or problem.Results: the pet lock was intact on the proximal end of the pusher assembly.The pusher assembly was kinked at approximately 116.0 cm, 138.0 cm and 139.0 cm from the proximal end.The embolization coil was undamaged and intact with the pusher assembly.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned smart coil revealed a functional device.During functional testing, the smart coil was able to be detached with a demonstration handle without issue.The reported complaint could not be confirmed.The handle used in the procedure was not returned for evaluation.Further evaluation revealed pusher assembly kinks.These kinks were likely incidental to the complaint.Penumbra coils are 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.This report is associated with mfr report number: 3005168196-2020-00520.
