Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient underwent primary breast reconstruction with a 275cc mentor smooth round spectrum on the right breast.Post-operatively, the patient suffered right breast implant deflation.As a result, the patient underwent breast implant removal and replacement surgery on (b)(6) 2024.The replacement device was a 275cc mentor smooth round spectrum (catalog: 3501440 lot: 9655856 sn: (b)(6).
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On (b)(6) 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On (b)(6) 2024, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation with approximately 5.8 cm of tubing attached to the implant, the connector and injection dome also were returned.Mentor conducted a visual inspection, leak testing, and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that no damage or anomalies were observed on the spec smooth rnd 275cc breast implant.Also, the connector and injection dome were received apart from the device.Leak testing was performed, according to mentor procedure, and it identified a tear on the posterior view within the crease/fold measuring approximately 0.1 cm.A microscopic examination was performed on the end of the fill tube and the tubing edges revealed parallel striations that were consistent with markings made by a sharp instrument, indicating that the tube was cut.Also, a microscopic examination was performed on the edge of the tear, and instrument damage was not found.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture was consistent with normal wear.Deflation can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Creating wrinkles or folds should be avoided during implantation or other procedures as it can result in deflation at a later time.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.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.
