Since the device has not been returned for analysis, no product failure analysis can be conducted, and no determination of possible contributing factors can be made.As such, the investigation will be closed.If the complaint device is received in the future, the investigation will be reopened and conducted as appropriate.A manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was performed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Reason for device explant and/or reoperation: rupture.Section d6b.Explantation date: on (b)(6) 2024.Mentor is submitting this report pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803.This report may be based on information which mentor has not been able to investigate or verify prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by fda, mentor, or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the device, mentor, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On february 29, 2024, mentor became aware of the patient's replacement device.It was determined that the patient's replacement device was a 495cc mentor memoryshape breast implant with serial number (b)(6).Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On march 14, 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.On march 20, 2024, the evaluation for the device was completed.Device evaluation summary: visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the mentor memoryshape¿ tm+ 555cc breast implant was found to be ruptured and received in two parts.A microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the tear could not be identified.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformances were identified.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 is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following may cause implant to rupture: 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.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 is conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On april 02, 2024, mentor received additional information regarding the patient's diagnosis.It was reported that the patient also experience breast ptosis and asymmetry.Reason for device explant and/or reoperation: rupture and breast ptosis.On april 10, 2024, a re-evaluation for the device was completed to include the following information: some breast ptosis is a normal component of the mature breast.Ptosis becomes undesirable when the breast parenchyma predominates below the areola, droops considerably below the inframammary fold and the nipple points downward.Augmentation alone, without consideration of the ptosis can produce a less than desirable cosmetic result known as a "rock in sock" deformity or an increased ptotic appearance.Ptosis is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.Asymmetry may be attributed to one or more of the following: contracture of the fibrous capsule, seroma or hematoma, development of postoperative breast dysplasia, unilateral discrepancy in muscle development, deflation of the implant, incorrect choice of implant shape or size, and surgical technique.Asymmetry is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
