Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On 22-jul-2024, mentor received additional information about the event.It was previously reported that the suspect medical device is a mentor siltex round moderate profile 325cc gel breast prosthesis, catalog #3542650, udi #(b)(4).Mentor became aware that the suspect medical device is actually a mentor siltex contour profile high 275cc gel breast prosthesis, catalog #3542711, udi #(b)(4).The mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation on the same date.The analysis has begun but is not complete at this time.When the investigational analysis has been completed, a supplemental report will be submitted.D4: udi: as only the catalog number for the device involved in the event was provided, the full udi is currently not available.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On 09-aug-2024, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.Device evaluation summary: according with the information received, the patient experienced deflation in the breast implant and developed capsular contracture.The product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that no damage or anomalies were observed on the breast implant.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and no leak sites were detected during the analysis.The event described could not be confirmed as the breast implant was returned without detectable damage.Although no product defect was identified, there may have been other circumstances or issues that occurred during the use of the device that could not be replicated during the laboratory analysis.Mentor concluded that the capsular contracture in the patient¿s breast was the result of the body¿s individual physiological response to the implantation of a foreign object in soft tissue.Capsular contracture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.The american society of plastic surgeons recommends and encourages member surgeons to always submit breast implants, capsule, and effusion to pathology for examination.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.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).
