Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On 29-sep-2023, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On 02-oct-2023, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.Device evaluation summary: according to the information received, the patient experienced a rupture in the breast implant.The product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection of the returned device visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant was found to be ruptured.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
