Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On (b)(6) 2022, mentor received information about the replacement devices.The catalog and serial numbers are as follows: left catalog 3503501bc, (b)(6).Right catalog 3503501bc, (b)(6).On (b)(6) 2022, the device evaluation was completed.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant was received with the patch separated from the shell.A microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the tear could not be identified.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following things may cause the implant to rupture: damage by surgical instruments; stressing the implant during implantation and weakening it; folding or wrinkling of the implant shell; excessive force to the chest (e.G.During closed capsulotomy); trauma; compression during mammographic imaging; and severe capsular contracture.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformances were identified.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals is conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
