On november 9, 2021, device evaluation was completed.Device evaluation summary: mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the gel mod-rnd 700cc breast implant was ruptured.In addition, a crease/fold was identified at the edges of the rupture.The evaluation determined that the cause of the rupture was consistent with normal wear.Instructions for use state that ruptures can occur at any time after implantation, but are more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following may cause implants to rupture: stressing the implant during implantation or other procedures and weakening it; folding or wrinkling of the implant shell.Breast implants may also wear out over time.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.This supplemental medwatch report is for the patient¿s right-sided device.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
