Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a 405cc mentor memorygel xtra breast implant being used in a primary breast augmentation was found to be ruptured during the operation.No adverse event was experienced by the patient.The surgeon used backup devices, and there were no reported patient consequences or procedural delays.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On april 25, 2022, mentor completed evaluation of the device.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the siltex high profile xtra 405cc breast implant was found to have a tear on the anterior view, measuring 6.9 cm.A microscopic examination was performed and the cause of the tear could not be identified.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformances were identified.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: according to the product insert data sheet, it is possible to damage the implant during insertion.Ensure that excessive force is not applied to a very small area of the shell during insertion of the device through the incision.Instead, apply force over as large an area of the implant as possible.Avoid pushing the device into place with one or two fingers in a localized area, as this may create an area of weakness on the shell.In addition, an incision should be of appropriate length to accommodate the style, size, and profile of the implant.This will reduce the potential for creating excessive stress on the implant during insertion, and will avoid the risk of damage to the implant.A second product was received (lot-9596114).No adverse events were reported for this concomitant (contralateral) device, therefore no further analysis is required.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.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).
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On march 28, 2022, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.The analysis has begun but is not complete at this time.When the investigational analysis has been completed, a supplemental report will be submitted.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
