Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On august 21, 2023, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.With the product return, the device identity was provided.Size: 600cc, brand name: mentor memorygel breast implant, catalog: 3546001, lot: 5955477.Additionally, paperwork received with the device provided the following information.A patient identifier and date of birth were provided, and the appropriate fields have been populated.The patient was diagnosed with a ruptured right breast implant.As a result, the patient underwent removal on (b)(6) 2023.On september 07, 2023, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant had parallel lines of shell wear on the posterior aspect.In addition, a tear was noticed within the shell wear, measuring approximately 4.0 cm.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Shell wear 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.A manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was performed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Reason for device explant and/or reoperation: rupture.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
