Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On december 5, 2023, mentor received additional information indicating that the suspect medical device's lot number was 5770500.In addition, mentor also became aware that the patient had undergone breast implant removal surgery on an unspecified date.On december 27, 2023, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sm mpp gel 100cc breast implant was found to have a tear on the posterior view, measuring approximately 2.3 cm.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformance's were identified.Although no conclusion could be reach on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following things may cause implant to rupture: damage by surgical instruments; stressing the implant during implantation and weakening it; folding or wrinkling of the implant shell; excessive force to the chest (e.G.During closed capsulotomy); trauma; compression during mammographic imaging; and severe capsular contracture.Breast implants may also simply 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, capsule, and effusion to pathology for examination.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Reason for device explant and/or reoperation: capsular contracture.
