Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On march 26, 2024, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On april 01, 2024, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant was found to have a tear at the junction between the shell and patch.A microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the tear could not be identified.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture can occur after implantation but is more likely to occur the more prolonged the implant is implanted.The following may cause the 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 wear out over time.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
