Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluation completed on (b)(6) 2020: during the visual evaluation, the device was observed to be ruptured.Additionally, an anomaly was observed within the tear consistent with shell wear.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.Each device is visually inspected during manufacturing to ensure the device meets the required specifications prior to shipment.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
