    H3: AS FOUND CONDITION: THE INSTANT DETACHER WAS RETURNED FOR EVALUATION INSIDE A BIOHAZARD PLASTIC BAG AND A SHIPPING BOX. THERE WAS NO COIL RETURNED WITH THE INSTANT DETACHER. VISUAL INSPECTION/DAMAGE LOCATION DETAILS: VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE ASSEMBLED INSTANT DETACHER SHOWED NO DEFECTS. TESTING/ANALYSIS: AN IN-HOUSE AXIUM COIL WAS THEN SELECTED FOR TESTING WITH THE INSTANT DETACHER. NO DIFFICULTY WAS EXPERIENCED INSERTING THE PROXIMAL END OF PUSHWIRE INTO THE INSTANT DETACHER, AND THE LOAD INDICATOR WAS NOT VISIBLE WHEN THE PUSHWIRE WAS FULLY SEATED IN THE INSTANT DETACHER CAP. THE IMPLANT COIL WAS SUCCESSFULLY DETACHED ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT WITHOUT ANY DIFFICULTY. DURING EVALUATION, THE INSTANT DETACHER WAS TAKEN APART TO EVALUATE THE COMPONENTS. ALL COMPONENTS APPEARED TO BE NORMAL. THE SURFACE AROUND THE BOTTOM INNER DIAMETER OF THE INSTANT DETACHER CAP APPEARED TO BE CLEAN. THE INSTANT DETACHER CAP BOTTOM INNER DIAMETER WAS MEASURED TO BE 0.0140¿ WHICH IS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. NO OTHER ANOMALIES WERE OBSERVED. CONCLUSION: BASED ON THE ANALYSIS FINDINGS AND THE REPORTED EVENT DETAILS, THE INSTANT DETACHER WAS NOT CONFIRMED TO HAVE "UNABLE TO DETACH" ISSUE. THE ROOT CAUSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED AS NO DEFECT WAS FOUND WITH THE RETURNED INSTANT DETACHER. THE RETURNED INSTANT DETACHER WAS USED TO SUCCESSFULLY DETACH THE IN-HOUSE COIL WITH NO ISSUE. THERE WAS NO NON-CONFORMANCE TO SPECIFICATIONS IDENTIFIED THAT LED TO THE REPORTED ISSUE. MEDTRONIC IS SUBMITTING THIS REPORT TO COMPLY WITH FDA REPORTING REGULATIONS UNDER 21 CFR PARTS 4 AND 803.
