On (b)(6) 2020, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.Device evaluation summary: according to the information received, the patient experienced a rupture in the breast implant with swelling and pain.During the visual inspection of the device, a tear was observed on the anterior aspect measuring approximately 5.5 cm.Additionally, an area of missing material was found next to the tear, measuring approximately 0.6 cm x 1.0 cm.Microscopic examination of the tear edges revealed parallel striations that are consistent with markings made by a sharp instrument perforating silicone material.Swelling is a temporary normal post-operative condition.Depending on presentation, delayed swelling may require additional work-up by the surgeon.Swelling is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.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.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 mentor quality assurance to determine when further action is necessary.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
