Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On december 27, 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.On january 02, 2025, mentor received additional information regarding the patient's diagnosis.It was reported that the patient also experienced lateral malposition of the breast and asymmetry.Section h6-medical device problem code has been updated to reflect this additional information.On january 09, 2025, the evaluation for the device was completed.Device evaluation summary: microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the rupture, and parallel striations were found in an area of the tear on the anterior aspect, measuring approximately 0.1 cm.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the implant shell.The cause of the rupture in the remaining area 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.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.Asymmetry may be attributed to one or more of the following: contracture of the fibrous capsule, seroma or hematoma, development of postoperative breast dysplasia, unilateral discrepancy in muscle development, deflation of the implant, incorrect choice of implant shape or size, and surgical technique.Asymmetry 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 is conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
