Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On august 20, 2021, mentor received additional information indicating that the patient has fully recovered as an outcome of the revision surgery on (b)(6)2021.On august 23, 2021, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation on august 25, 2021, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sal siltex rnd diap pkg 150cc breast implant had an area of siltex cracking on the posterior view.Additionally, a tear was noted within the siltex cracking, measuring approximately 0.5 cm.Leak testing was performed in accordance with mentor procedures, and no additional leak sites were detected during the analysis.The evaluation determined that the cause of the deflation is consistent with normal wear.Siltex cracking is defined as a material separation occurring in the siltex layer and can eventually progress through the shell of siltex devices.Siltex cracking is ultimately a result of high stresses.Most women undergoing augmentation or reconstruction with a mammary prosthesis will experience some pain postoperatively.While pain normally subsides in most women as they heal from surgery, it can become a chronic problem in other women.Chronic pain can be associated with a variety of factors.Surgeons should instruct their patients to inform them if there is significant pain or if pain persists.Pain is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.It should be noted that as part of mentor¿s quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
