Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On (b)(6) 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.On (b)(6) 2024, the evaluation for the device was completed.Device evaluation summary: visual analysis of the returned sample determined that the smooth high profile xtra 260cc breast implant had a tear (a) on the posterior view, measuring approximately 4.0 cm.In addition, a second tear (b) was found on the anterior view, measuring approximately 0.3 cm.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of tear b, and parallel striations were found in the whole area of the tear b.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the implant shell.However, the microscopic examination was performed and the cause of the tear a could not be identified.Therefore a thickness measurement was conducted on the shell at the tear a, and the thickness was within manufacturing specifications.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformances were identified.Although no conclusion could be reach on the cause of tear a, the instructions for use contain the following caution: according to the product insert data sheet, it is possible to damage the implant during insertion.Ensure that excessive force is not applied to a very small area of the shell during insertion of the device through the incision.Instead, apply force over as large an area of the implant as possible.Avoid pushing the device into place with one or two fingers in a localized area, as this may create an area of weakness on the shell.In addition, an incision should be of appropriate length to accommodate the style, size, and profile of the implant.This will reduce the potential for creating excessive stress to the implant during insertion, and will avoid the risk of damage to the implant.Based on the information currently available, microscopic examination of tear b in the product indicates that the implant could have been damaged during 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.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).
