Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On may 3, 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On may 8, 2024, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sm mod classic gel, 490cc breast implant have a tear within an area of shell abrasion on the posterior view, measuring approximately 2 cm.A microscopic examination was performed and no instrument damage was observed at the edges 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.Implant displacement/migration may occur from improper implant sizing and/or placement, i.E., when the implant is too large or the pocket too small or when there has been inadequate preoperative assessment of stresses causing movement of the prosthesis.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.
