Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On march 22, 2024, device evaluation was completed as follows: mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the gel mod-rnd 150cc breast implant was found to be ruptured.In addition, shell abrasion was observed at 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.A second product was received.No adverse events were reported for this concomitant (contralateral) device, therefore no further analysis is required.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
