Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The investigation of the returned device was completed by the failure analysis lab on december 14, 2020.Device evaluation summary: a manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device number 244513, and no non-conformances were identified.During the visual evaluation of the product, parallel lines of shell wear were observed on the anterior aspect.Additionally, within the wear a tear was noted, extended from the anterior to the posterior view, measuring approximately 2.4 cm.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).
