Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On (b)(6) 2022, device evaluation was completed.Device evaluation summary: mentor conducted a visual inspection.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the siltex hpg, 325cc breast implant was found to be ruptured.As the authorization form for examination was not received the product evaluation lab couldn´t identify a conclusion due to the specific nature of this rupture.The evaluation was limited to non-destructive testing.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: 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.A second product was received (7441281).No adverse events were reported for this concomitant (contralateral) device, therefore no further analysis is required.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.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals is conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Mentor is aware that the date of implant ((b)(6) ups were completed for clarification.However, no response was received.If additional information becomes available, it will be updated and supplemental report will be submitted.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
