Additional Manufacturer Narrative

On 6/22/2021 , mentor conducted a visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the con pro 425/475cc breast implant had a line of shell wear on the anterior aspect.Additionally, a tear was noted within the shell wear, measuring approximately 0.5 cm.Leak testing was performed in accordance with mentor procedures, and no additional tears were noted.The evaluation determined that the cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Shell wear suggests in-vivo folding or creasing of the device.This may be the result of continuous and sustained stresses to the device.Most women undergoing augmentation or reconstruction with a mammary prosthesis will experience some pain postoperatively.While pain normally subsides in most women as they heal from surgery, it can become a chronic problem in other women.Chronic pain can be associated with a variety of factors.Surgeons should instruct their patients to inform them if there is significant pain or if pain persists.Pain is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.It should be noted that as part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
