Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On february 26, 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On february 27, 2024, device evaluation was completed as follows: mentor conducted visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sm mod classic gel, 470cc breast implant was found to be ruptured.Additionally, an area of shell abrasion was found at the edge 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.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.This supplemental report is for one of the two patient¿s side.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
