Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On march 10, 2022, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.The investigation of the returned device was completed by the failure analysis lab on march 27, 2022.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sx mpp gel 225cc breast implant had parallel lines of shell wear on the posterior aspect and extending to the anterior view.Additionally a tear was noted within the shell wear, on the posterior view, measuring approximately 1.1 cm.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).
