On november 5, 2020, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.Mentor also became aware that the correct date of explantation was (b)(6) 2020.On november 20, 2020, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: during visual evaluation of the product, parallel lines of shell wear were observed on the anterior aspect.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.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
