Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant was found to be ruptured.In addition, an anomaly was observed on the edges of the tear consistent with a crease/fold.The evaluation determined that the cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.The instructions for use state that ruptures can occur at any time after implantation, but it is 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 over time.It should be noted that as part of mentor¿s quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Reason for device explant and/or reoperation: left sided rupture.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
