Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor then conducted a visual inspection, leak testing, and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample determined that the smooth mod + prof xtra 560cc breast implant was found to have three tears (a, b, and c) on the posterior view, measuring approximately 0.3 cm, 0.5 cm, and 0.8 cm respectively.Leak testing was performed, according to the mentor procedure, and no additional leak sites were detected during the analysis.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the ruptures (a, b, and c), and parallel striations were found in the whole area of each tear.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the implant shell.Based on the information currently available, microscopic examination of the returned product indicates that the implant could have been damaged during or subsequent to implantation.The product insert data sheet cautions to not allow cautery devices or sharp instruments, such as scalpels, suture needles, hypodermic needles, hemostats, adson forceps, or scissors to contact the device during the implantation or other surgical procedures.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
