Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The mentor failure analysis lab has received and completed the evaluation of the suspect medical device.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection.Visual analysis of the returned sample determined that the gel mod-rnd 800cc breast implant was found to be ruptured.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.It should be noted that product failure is multifactorial.Although no conclusion could be reach 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 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.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).
