Updated devices' photo evaluation completed on february 15, 2023: upon visual evaluation of the image provided in the complaint, the product was inside a bag and a brown material is perceived in the implant.As the product involved in this complaint was not received, the device couldn´t be analyzed according to our procedures.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device batch number, and no non-conformances were identified.The mentor microbiology department provided the sterility assurance records of the implanted device.The lot met all the sterilization parameters required to provide sterility assurance before release for distribution.At present, 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).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.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Manufacturing date: dec/08/2009.(b)(4).
