Abstract
A medical device detachment system receives an elongate delivery member, having a lumen, and an elongate core member. The system includes a housing, a user input mechanism for receiving a user input to effect detachment of a medical device, such as an embolic coil, from a distal end of the delivery member, and a grasping mechanism for grasping and moving a proximal end of the core member relative to a proximal end of the delivery member. The system also includes a first sensor detecting positioning of the proximal end of the core member within the housing, and a second sensor, detecting movement of the grasping mechanism. An indicator is connected to the first and second proximity sensors and provides feedback to a user.
