Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a female patient underwent unspecified breast surgery with 375cc mentor siltex round spectrum on both sides and experienced breast implant deflation on her right side.On (b)(6) 2023, mentor became aware that the patient also experienced bilateral implant site calcification in addition to right side deflation, and replacement devices used on (b)(6) 2023 were catalog number 3503330; serial number (b)(6) on the right side, and catalog number 3503330; serial number (b)(6) on the left side.This medwatch report is for the patient¿s left-sided device.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On september 26, 2023, photo evaluation was completed as follows: upon visual evaluation of the image provided in the complaint, the implant was observed deflated.As the product involved in this complaint was discarded, the device couldn´t be analyzed according to our procedures.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device batch number, and no non-conformance's were identified.Calcification and breast imaging calcification of a biomaterial occurs when calcium salts are deposited in the tissue capsule surrounding the implanted device.Calcification occurs in association with a wide variety of implanted prostheses, including breast implants, heart valves, vascular grafts, and soft contact lenses, as well as in the mature breast tissue of women that have not undergone breast surgery.Calcification of the fibrous capsule that may occur following implantation of breast prostheses is generally not of clinical significance, although it may exacerbate symptoms of capsular contracture.Concern has been raised, however; that calcification may interfere with tumor detection, because microcalcifications are considered a halfmark of malignant breast disease.Although clinicians have recommended pre- and post-surgical mammograms for augmentation patients to assist in distinguishing post-operative findings from calcification associated with malignancy, benign calcification resulting from surgery is generally considered distinguishable from malignant-type calcification.Further, no published reports were identified that document any actual occurrences of missed or delayed diagnoses attributable to capsular calcification.Calcification is not a phenomenon unique to breast implants.It occurs in 11 to 53 percent of women who underwent breast reduction procedures (abboud et aj.1995, m&nick et al.1990, brown et al.1987).In the breasts of women who have not undergone any breast surgery, the prevalence of benign calcifications increases progressively with age from 8 percent in women 25 to 29 years old up to 86 percent in women 75 to 79 years old (stomper et al.1996).It should be noted that as part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Since no malfunction was observed during the investigation, 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 medwatch report is for the patient¿s left-sided device.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
