On november 12, 2024, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On november 19, 2024, mentor received the following additional information: patient identifier information was provided.Ethnicity: not hispanic/latino.Race: white.The patient began to experience right breast pain which was the reason for her original consultation with a medical professional on (b)(6) 2024.She was diagnosed with a deflated right breast implant during a physical exam with a medical professional as she was observed to have a decreased size of the right breast.Ultrasound imaging was performed indicating a deflated right implant and a peri-areolar left breast cyst.As per this information, the date of event was updated.Date of event: august 29, 2024.Reason for device explant and/or reoperation: breast pain.As an event for the contralateral side was indicated, another file was generated to document the event.This report is for the right breast prosthesis.On december 04, 2024 mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the 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.Most women undergoing augmentation or reconstruction with a mammary prosthesis will experience some pain postoperatively.While pain normally subsides in most women as they heal from surgery, it can become a chronic problem in other women.Chronic pain can be associated with a variety of factors.Surgeons should instruct their patients to inform them if there is significant pain or if pain persists.Pain is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
