Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On (b)(6) 2022, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.Additional information was received with the device indicating the patient underwent device removal on (b)(6) 2021.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 sx mod classic gel, 490cc breast implant had a 5.0 cm tear within parallel lines of shell wear on the anterior aspect.The evaluation determined that the cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Shell wear suggests in-vivo folding or creasing of the device.This may be the result of the following factors: continuous and sustained stresses to the device such as too small breast pocket and folding or wrinkling of the shell in the breast pocket.In some cases, the breast implants may also wear out over time.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).
