On (b)(6) 2021, the investigation on the suspected medical device was completed.Investigation summary: during visual evaluation of the device, no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed.An investigation of the returned device was performed, and mentor could not uncover a device failure that we could connect to the reported medical symptoms.A seroma is a build-up of fluid around the implant.Symptoms from a seroma may include swelling, pain, and bruising.A seroma may occur soon after surgery, or any time later on, which would be referred to as a late seroma.While the body may absorb seromas, some may require surgery for drainage.Manufacturer's reference number: (b)(4).
