Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a (b)(6) year-old asian female patient underwent a breast augmentation primary with a mentor memorygel breast implant 225cc and suffered from a lymphadenopathy on the right side and a bilateral rupture.At the time of this report, mentor has received no information regarding explantation or an expected explantation date.This medwatch is for the left breast implant.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On 5/4/2021, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.The analysis has begun but is not complete at this time.When the investigational analysis has been completed, a supplemental report will be submitted.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On 6/18/2021, mentor conducted a visual inspection.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the siltex hpg, 225cc breast implant was found to have a tear on the union between shell and patch.As the authorization form for examination was not received, the product evaluation lab couldn´t identify a conclusion due to the specific nature of this rupture.The evaluation was limited to non-destructive testing.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformances were identified.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following things may cause an implant to rupture: damage by surgical instruments; stressing the implant during implantation and weakening it; folding or wrinkling of the implant shell; excessive force to the chest (e.G., during closed capsulotomy); trauma; compression during mammographic imaging; and severe capsular contracture.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.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, capsules, and effusion to pathology for examination.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals is conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On (b)(6) 2022, mentor updated the complaint's coding accuracy.All relevant fields have been updated.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
