On (b)(6) 2021, device evaluation was completed.Device evaluation summary: mentor conducted a visual inspection, leak testing, and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the smooth mod + prof xtra 630cc breast implant was found to have a bubble within the gel, measuring approximately 2.3 cm in diameter.Leak testing was performed, according to mentor procedure, and it revealed a tear measuring approximately 0.1 cm was found on the anterior view.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the rupture, and parallel striations were found in the whole area of the tear.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the implant shell.A manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was performed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Based on the information currently available, microscopic examination of the returned product indicates that the implant could have been damaged during or subsequent to implantation.The product insert data sheet cautions to not allow cautery devices or sharp instruments, such as scalpels, suture needles, hypodermic needles, hemostats, adson forceps, or scissors to contact the device during the implantation or other surgical procedures.Implant displacement/migration may occur from improper implant sizing and/or placement, i.E., when the implant is too large or the pocket too small or when there has been inadequate preoperative assessment of stresses causing movement of the prosthesis.Implant displacement/migration is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.This supplemental medwatch report is for the patient¿s left-sided device.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
