Device evaluation: based on the device analysis grid, the assessments of the complaint are: ¿ deflation/ use error: observed an opening on radius assessed as surgical damage, observed an opening on insert assembly assessed as an unidentified (tear) opening (shell thickness within spec) ¿ other technical: observed a broken suture tab assessed as an unidentified (tear) opening and observed missing suture tab assessed as inconclusive.Additional observations: ¿ crease fold and wear abrasion observed inside the device.¿ red particles observed inside the device.¿ yellow particles observed the outside of the device.¿ observed thread to suture on suture tab.No further actions are required as the device was implanted.The event of "seroma-late" is a physiological complication and analysis of the device generally does not assist allergan in determining a probable cause for this event.
