Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On april 12, 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.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the gel mod-rnd 700cc breast implant was found to be ruptured.Additionally, a crease was observed on the edges of the rupture.The evaluation determined that the cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.The instructions for use state that ruptures can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following may cause implants to rupture: stressing the implant during implantation or other procedures and weakening it; folding or wrinkling of the implant shell.Breast implants may also wear over time.It should be noted that as part of the mentor¿s quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.
