Device evaluation completed on december 01 , 2022: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor then conducted a visual inspection, microscopic examination, and thickness measurement of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sm mpps dv 750cc breast implant was found to be ruptured.Microscopic examination was performed and the cause of the deflation could not be identified.Therefore a thickness measurement was conducted on the shell at the tear, and the thickness was within manufacturing specifications.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: causes of deflation of saline implants include but are not limited to the following events: crease fold failure, intraoperative or postoperative trauma, excessive stresses or manipulations as may occur during normal, daily routines including customary and purposeful trauma such as that which can occur during vigorous exercise, athletics, etc.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.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specification.Patient also experienced capsular contracture, unknown grade.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
