On 09-jan-2022, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.Device evaluation summary: according to the information received, the patient experienced displacement of the breast implant.In addition, the patient developed capsular contracture and experienced numbness and swelling.The product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.During the visual evaluation, no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the returned device.Mentor concluded that the capsular contracture in the patient¿s breast was the result of the body¿s individual physiological response to the implantation of a foreign object in soft tissue.Capsular contracture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.The american society of plastic surgeons recommends and encourages member surgeons to always submit breast implants, capsules, and effusion to pathology for examination.Paresthesia is an abnormal sensation such as tingling, tickling, pricking, numbness, or burning of a person's skin with no apparent physical cause.This includes increased or decreased sensitivity or sensation.The manifestation of paresthesia may be transient or chronic.Swelling is a temporary normal post-operative condition.Depending on the presentation, delayed swelling may require additional workup by the surgeon.Swelling is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.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.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).
