On (b)(6) 2022, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On (b)(6) 2022, mentor completed evaluation of the device.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor then conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample determined that the smooth moderate high profile xtra, 580 cc breast implant was found to have a tear on the posterior view measuring approximately 13.5 cm.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the rupture, and parallel striations were found in an area of the tear, measuring less than 0.1 cm.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the implant shell.The cause of the rupture in the remaining area of the tear could not be identified.Mentor concluded that the capsular contracture in the patient´s breast resulted from the body´s individual physiological response to implanting 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.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).
