Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On february 13, 2024, mentor received the device for evaluation.On february 20, 2024, mentor completed a visual inspection of the returned device.Device evaluation summary: visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant was found to be ruptured.As the authorization form for examination was not received the product evaluation lab couldn't identify a conclusion due to the specific nature of this rupture.The evaluation was limited to non-destructive testing.Although no conclusion could be reach on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following things may cause implant to rupture: damage by surgical instruments; stressing the implant during implantation and weakening it; folding or wrinkling of the implant shell; excessive force to the chest (e.G.During closed capsulotomy); trauma; compression during mammographic imaging; and severe capsular contracture.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
