Healthcare professional reported a pt who presented on (b)(6) 2014, with a left side seroma due to the "textured implant rubbing against the seri scaffold." left side infection was subsequently diagnosed.Pt was treated with bactrim and on (b)(6) 2014, both the seri and concomitant non-allergan device were explanted and discarded.

The physician discarded the device when it was explanted and it is no longer available for return.Therefore, allergan will not receive it and no analysis or testing will be done.The event of infection and seroma are surgical/physiological complications and analysis of the device generally does not assist allergan in determining a probable cause for these events.Device relation of the seri to the events are unk by the physician, however it is allergan medical's approach to compliance to resolve all doubts in favor of reporting.
