Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On 22-dec-2022, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.Device evaluation summary: according to the information received, the patient experienced a rupture in the breast implant and developed capsular contracture.The product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant had an area of shell abrasion on the posterior view.Leak testing was performed, according to the mentor procedure, and it identified a tear within the shell abrasion measuring less than 0.1 cm.The evaluation determined that the cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Shell abrasion suggests in-vivo folding or creasing of the device.This may be the result of the following factors: continuous and sustained stresses to the device such as too small breast pocket and folding or wrinkling of the shell in the breast pocket.In some cases, the breast implants may also wear out over time.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 effusions to pathology for examination.It should be noted that 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 will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
