On december 12, 2024, a photo evaluation for the device was completed.Photo evaluation summary: upon visual evaluation of the image provided in the complaint, the implant was observed ruptured.As the product involved in this complaint was not received, the device couldn´t be analyzed according to our procedures.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device batch number, and no non-conformances were identified.Implant displacement/migration may occur from improper implant sizing and/or placement, i.E., when the implant is too large or the pocket too small or when there has been inadequate preoperative assessment of stresses causing movement of the prosthesis.Implant displacement/migration is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.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 will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
