Correction: mentor inadvertently did not report that the initial reporter reported that the rupture was caused by trauma from a mammogram.On 24-jun-2024, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On 02-jul-2024, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.Device evaluation summary: according to the information received, the patient experienced a rupture in the breast implant after a mammogram.The product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor then conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant was found to be ruptured.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture was the trauma experienced.Rupture can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Trauma is a known inherent risk of gel-filled mammary 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.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).
