Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On october 31, 2023, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and leak testing of the device.During visual evaluation, no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the breast implant device.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and no leak sites or gel exposures were detected during the analysis.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.At the present time, there is no sufficient evidence to show an association between breast implants and generalized illness (assessing the risks of breast implants and fda¿s vision for the national breast implant registry).On november 06, 2023, mentor became aware that information was inadvertently omitted from the initial report.As the device was received, the following information should have been included.H6.Type of investigation: testing of actual/suspected device (b01); h6.Investigation findings: results pending completion of investigation (c21); h6.Investigation conclusions: conclusion not yet available (d16).Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4) in the initial, h6.Type of investigation, h6.Investigation findings, h6.Investigation conclusions should have include testing of actual/suspected device (b01), results pending completion of investigation (c21), and conclusion not yet available (d16), respectively, as the device was received for analysis.
