Two devices of the same lot were received with no indication which device belonged to the right breast, so both devices were analyzed.(device 1) on (b)(6) 2022, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: 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 smooth mod + prof xtra 685cc returned device.Extrusion may occur when the wound has not closed or when tissue covering the implants weakens.The incidence of extrusion has been shown to increase when undue pressure is applied on the tissue located over the device, trauma to surrounding tissues may lead to thrombosis, delayed wound healing, improper size, placement, larger sized implants, use of steroids in the surgical pocket and microwave diathermy.Radiation therapy has been reported to increase the likelihood of extrusion.Extrusion may require additional surgery and possible removal of the implant, which may result in additional scarring and/or loss of breast tissue.As part of mentor¿s quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.(device 2) on (b)(6) 2022, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: 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 smooth mod + prof xtra 685cc returned device.Extrusion may occur when the wound has not closed or when tissue covering the implants weakens.The incidence of extrusion has been shown to increase when undue pressure is applied on the tissue located over the device, trauma to surrounding tissues may lead to thrombosis, delayed wound healing, improper size, placement, larger sized implants, use of steroids in the surgical pocket and microwave diathermy.Radiation therapy has been reported to increase the likelihood of extrusion.Extrusion may require additional surgery and possible removal of the implant, which may result in additional scarring and/or loss of breast tissue.As part of mentor¿s quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.
