On 12-oct-2021, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.Device evaluation summary: according to the information reported, the patient experienced breast push to the side.The product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.During visual evaluation, no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the returned device.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).
