Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On august 29, 2023, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On august 31, 2023, device evaluation was completed.Device evaluation summary: mentor conducted visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the gel mod-rnd 175cc breast implant had a tear on the posterior view, measuring approximately 9.4 cm.Additionally, an area of shell abrasion was observed on the edges of the rupture.The evaluation determined that the possible 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.As part of mentor¿s quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Capa activity was not required.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post market surveillance.This supplemental report is for the patient¿s left-sided device.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
