Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Device evaluation completed on (b)(6) 2020: during a visual evaluation, an anomaly was observed on the device consistent with a crease/fold in the anterior view.Leak testing was performed, according with mentor procedure, and it revealed a tear within the crease measuring approximately 0.1 cm.The evaluation determined that the loss of shell integrity is consistent with a crease fold rupture of the implant shell, which is a known inherent risk of gel-filled mammary prosthesis.Rupture can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Creating wrinkles or folds should be avoided during implantation or other procedures as it can result in a rupture in a later time.Breast implants may also simply 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).
