Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection, leak testing, and microscopic examination of the returned tissue expander.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that no damage or anomalies were observed on the cpx4 plus sm te mh 800cc tissue expander.Leak testing was performed, according with mentor procedure, and it revealed a tear at the suture tab at the 06 o¿clock position.Microscopic examination was performed and the cause of the tear could not be identified.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformances were identified.Based on the information currently available, a notification was sent to mentor's manufacturing team for further investigation.According to the manufacturing investigation, considering the event description, process controls, evaluation performed, and data records reviewed, the tear mentioned in the product complaint cannot be confirmed as a manufacturing defect.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: the silicone shell of the tissue expander may easily be cut by a scalpel or ruptured by excessive stress, manipulation with blunt instruments, or penetration by a needle.Subsequent deflation and/or rupture could result.All devices should be carefully inspected for structural integrity prior to and during implantation.In addition, the patient should be advised that vigorous body movement (e.G., physical exercise) or excessive manipulation or trauma in the expander region may cause stress to the device and result in subsequent deflation.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).
