On 14-oct-2020, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.Device evaluation summary: according to the information reported, the patient's implants dropped lower in the breast pocket.During the visual evaluation, no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the returned device.Implant displacement/migration may occur from improper implant sizing and/or placement, i.E., when the implant is too large or the pocket too small or when there has been inadequate preoperative assessment of stresses causing movement of the prosthesis.Implant displacement/migration is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.As part of our quality process, the manufacturing records of this lot-serial number were reviewed and the manufacturing standards were met prior to the release of this lot.Each device is visually inspected during manufacturing to ensure the device meets the required specifications prior to shipment.Complaint information is consistently analyzed and monitored by quality assurance to determine when further action is necessary.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
