It was reported that a female patient underwent a primary breast reconstruction with a 425cc mentor smooth round moderate profile saline breast prosthesis and experienced deflation on the right side post-operatively.As a result, the patient underwent explantation on (b)(6) 2023.A discrepancy was observed when the information reported included a date of implantation that occurred prior to the manufacturing date of the breast implant.As this is not possible, mentor associates will reach out for further information.If new information becomes available, mentor will submit a supplemental report.

Since the device has not been returned for analysis, no product failure analysis can be conducted, and no determination of possible contributing factors can be made.As such, the investigation will be closed.If the complaint device is received in the future, the investigation will be reopened and conducted as appropriate.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: deflation.Section d6a.Device implantation date reported: (b)(6) 2019.Mentor is submitting this report pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803.This report may be based on information which mentor has not been able to investigate or verify prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by fda, mentor, or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the device, mentor, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.If certain information is unknown, not available or does not apply, the section/field of the form is left blank.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).

On november 21, 2023, the evaluation for the device was completed.Device evaluation summary: visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the spec siltex contour 650cc breast implant have a tear on the posterior view within an area of siltex cracking, measuring approximately 0.6 cm.A microscopic examination was performed and no instrument damage was observed at the edges of the rupture.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the deflation is consistent with normal wear.Siltex cracking is defined as a material separation occurring in the siltex layer and can eventually progress through the shell of siltex devices.Siltex cracking is ultimately a result of high stresses.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.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
