Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On (b)(6) 2020, device evaluation was completed.Device evaluation summary: during the visual evaluation of the product, parallel lines of shell wear were observed on the anterior view of the device and extending to the posterior view.Within the wear on the posterior view, a tear was observed measuring approximately 1.4 cm.The evaluation determined that the loss of shell integrity is consistent with a rupture caused by wear.Shell wear suggests in-vivo folding or creasing of the device.This may be the result of the following factors: continuous and sustained stresses to the device such as too small breast pocket and folding or wrinkling of the shell in the breast pocket.In some cases, the breast implants may also wear out over time.Mentor concluded that the capsular contracture in the patient´s breast was the result of the body´s individual physiological response to the implantation of a foreign object in soft tissue.Capsular contracture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.The american society of plastic surgeons recommends and encourages member surgeons to always submit breast implants, capsule, and effusion to pathology for examination.Each device is visually inspected during manufacturing to ensure the device meets the required specifications prior to shipment.This supplemental report is for the patient¿s right-sided device.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
