On april 13, 2022, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the suspect medical device for evaluation.The received device contained a blue solution.Upon review of additional information that was provided, the surgeon explained this was an intention use of methylene blue as it used to be used to aid in the detection of deflations.Per the instructions for use, mentor saline-filled breast implants are not intended to be filled with anything other than sterile, pyrogen free sodium chloride u.S.P.Solution for injection, and thus this device is used in a manner inconsistent with the ifu.The analysis has begun but is not complete at this time.When the investigational analysis has been completed, a supplemental report will be submitted.On april 14, 2022, mentor received additional information indicating the patient had vague symptoms that could not be explained.With the limited information, it is being reported the patient has an unspecified generalized illness.At the present time, there is no sufficient evidence to show an association between breast implants and generalized illness (assessing the risks of breast implants and fda¿s vision for the national breast implant registry).Additionally, the patient underwent replacement with 325cc mentor smooth round moderate plus profile saline breast implants.On april 21, 2022, mentor received additional information that provided the identity of the device.Device name: 350cc mentor siltex contour profile spectrum.Catalog: 3542512.Lot: 229002.With the provided lot number, a manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was performed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Reason for device explant and/or reoperation: generalized illness.H6 health effect - clinical code e2303: generalized illness.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).

On may 30, 2022, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant was found to have a tear on the anterior view, measuring approximately 1.3 cm.In addition, the shell of the product was colored blue.Mentor concluded that the capsular contracture in the patient´s breast was the result of the body´s individual physiological response to the implantation of a foreign object in soft tissue.Capsular contracture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.The american society of plastic surgeons recommends and encourages member surgeons to always submit breast implants, capsules, and effusion to pathology for examination.At the present time, there is no sufficient evidence to show an association between breast implants and generalized illness.(assessing the risks of breast implants and fda¿s vision for the national breast implant registry).As stated in the product insert data sheet, is contraindicated to place drugs or substances inside the implants other than sterile saline for injection since this could compromise the product integrity.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
