On november 28, 2023, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On december 1, 2023, device evaluation was completed.Device evaluation summary: mentor conducted visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual inspection of the returned sample determined that a tear was observed on the posterior aspect of the mentor memoryshape¿ mm 280cc breast implant, measuring approximately 9.1 cm.Microscopic examination was performed and the cause of the tear could not be identified.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformances 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 is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following may cause implant to rupture: 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.Since no malfunction was observed during the investigation, no corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals is 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).
