Health effect - impact code: (b)(4).A review of the device history record has been initiated.If any new, changed or corrected information is noted, a supplemental medwatch will be submitted.Device evaluation: analysis of the returned device identified a broken shell and the device to be underweight.A visual and microscopic analysis was performed which identified a sharp broken edge on the posterior and wear abrasion.A dimension measurement in the shell was performed which identified the thickness within specification.Based on the device analysis the final assessment is: a sharp broken edge on posterior assessed as an unidentified (tear) opening.The event of lymphadenopathy is a physiological complication and analysis of the device generally does not assist allergan in determining a probable cause for this event.Further information from the reporter regarding event, product, or patient details has been requested.No additional information is available at this time.Reason for reoperation: rupture, lymphadenopathy.Allergan did not submit this mdr within 30 days of becoming aware.Recent stimulated reporting related to 2011068-7/2/19-001-r has increased complaint and mdr volume.Allergan is implementing a plan to address the increased volumes.
