On (b)(6) 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.Mentor became aware that the patient has undergone breast implant removal surgery on (b)(6) 2024.Reason for device explant and/or reoperation: wrinkling, device migration on (b)(6) 2024, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.During the visual evaluation, no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the mentor memoryshape¿ mh 620cc returned device.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.Wrinkling is reported to occur more frequently in patients with one or more of the following: thin-skinned patients, patients with little or no subcutaneous fat, sub-glandular rather than submuscular placement, an implant that is too large relative to the breast pocket size or frame of the patient, overlying tissue that is minimal or of poor quality, and/or when capsular contracture is present.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Since no malfunction was observed during the investigation, no corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.
