Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On 24-jun-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 and breast hematoma.The product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor then conducted visual inspection, leak testing and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual inspection of the returned sample determined that a tear was observed on the posterior aspect of the breast implant, measuring approximately 0.6 cm.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and no other areas of gel exposure were detected during the analysis.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the rupture, and parallel striations were found in the whole area of the tear.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the implant shell.Based on the information currently available, microscopic examination of the returned product indicates that the implant could have being damaged during or subsequent to implantation.The product insert data sheet cautions to not allow cautery devices or sharp instruments, such as scalpels, suture needles, hypodermic needles, hemostats, adson forceps or scissors to contact the device during the implantation or other surgical procedures.Hematoma is a collection of blood within the space around the implant.Symptoms from hematoma may include swelling, pain, and bruising.If a hematoma occurs, it will most likely occur soon after surgery; however, it can occur at anytime, such as after an injury to the breast.Small hematomas may be absorbed by the body, while others may require surgery for drainage.Hematoma is a known complication associated with this procedure and is referenced in our product insert data sheet.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).
