On february 13, 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On february 16, 2024, device evaluation was completed.Device evaluation summary: mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.During visual evaluation, no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the mentor memoryshape¿ tm+ 395cc returned device.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.A skin reaction is a noticeable change in the texture and/ or color of the skin.This can include bumps, scales, pustules, or redness that can be inflamed, irritated, painful, or itchy.This can be due to a variety of factors such as infections, heat, allergens, or immune system disorders.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).
