Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On june 10, 2024, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor conducted a visual inspection, microscopic examination, and thickness measurement of the device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant was found to have a tear on the anterior view at the union between the shell and the valve, extending to the shell, measuring approximately 6.3 cm.Microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the tear could not be identified.Therefore a thickness measurement was conducted on the shell at the tear, and the thickness was within manufacturing specifications.Although no conclusion could be reach on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: according with the product insert data sheet, the valve system can be damaged by improper use of the fill-tube stylet.Care should be taken that the stylet enters the valve smoothly.Use the thumb and forefinger to stabilize/support the valve seat and gently push the stylet tip into the valve opening.Overstressing the valve material may result in punctures or tears and subsequent deflation may occur.Use only the fill tube stylet provided with this product.Take care not to puncture the diaphragm valve or the shell with the stylet tip.Care must also be taken when the fill tube stylet is removed to prevent damage to the valve assembly.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
