    Discoloration was identified along the delivery pusher which was attributed to corrosion of the hypotube. The material which caused the corrosion was identified as remnants of solder flux residue remaining on the hypotube component of the delivery pusher. Due to the location of the delivery pusher within the delivery system, it is possible for the discoloration to mechanically break off from the delivery pusher, leaving the potential for the material to flow through the delivery system (i.e. microcatheter), and into the patient vasculature causing foreign emboli.

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
