Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On june 12, 2024, device evaluation was completed as follows: mentor conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the spec siltex rnd 275cc breast implant was found to have a tear (a) on the anterior view, measuring approximately 0.1 cm, within an area of siltex cracking.Additionally, a tear (b) was observed on the posterior view, at the union between the shell and the patch.Microscopic examination was performed and the cause of the tear (b) could not be identified.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformances were identified.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the tear (a) is consistent with normal wear.Siltex cracking is defined as a material separation occurring in the siltex layer and can eventually progress through the shell of siltex devices.Siltex cracking is ultimately a result of high stresses.Although no conclusion could be reach on the cause of the tear (b), the instructions for use contain the following caution: causes of deflation of saline implants include but are not limited to the following events: crease fold failure, intraoperative or postoperative trauma, excessive stresses or manipulations as may occur during normal, daily routines including customary and purposeful trauma such as that which can occur during vigorous exercise, athletics, etc.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).
