Additional Manufacturer Narrative
As stated in the literature, ¿a number of risk factors for rupture have been identified; the most common cause is surgical instrument damage.¿ (handel et al., 2013).Additionally, rupture is a common and known reason for complaints, and it is clearly characterized in the product dfu included with the implant, as stated above.Additionally, no cases of rupture because of product failure have been reported to establishment labs ever.Per our directions for use, each patient must receive the establishment labs s.A.¿motiva implants®: information for the patient¿ during her surgical consultation, it is the surgeons´ responsibility to ensure that the patient completely understands the information regarding the risks, benefits, and recommendations associated with silicone gel-filled breast implant surgery, as well as the complications typical of any type of surgery.This document is available in motiva® website: ifu.Motiva.Health the instructions for use in the directions for use were reviewed, to determinate if there are indications that ensure the prevention and good handling of the product.For this event, it is considered that the information is suitable for the section of surgical precautions as follows: ¿breast implants can potentially remain intact for decades in the body, but all such devices will fail at some point.Breast implants rupture when the shell develops a tear or hole.Rupture can occur at any time after implantation, but it is most likely to occur; the longer the implant is in place.The following may cause implants to rupture: damage by surgical instruments, implant stress, and weakening during implantation, age and design of the implant, submuscular rather than sub-glandular location, the occurrence of post-operatory hematomas or seromas, folding or wrinkling of the implant shell, excessive force to the chest, trauma, compression during mammographic imaging, and severe capsular contracture¿.Establishment labs requested the unit to confirm the event and to perform the corresponding testing (including but not limited to: revision and characterization under the microscope of the rupture section, mechanical testing according to approved standards, etc.).It was informed that the patient/doctor has the unit and was already returned.Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, and implant rupture is a risk associated with breast surgery, which can occur at any time.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
· the reported device was returned for evaluation.There was a relationship between the reported rupture and the device.· the initial visual inspection found a rupture for the device.Microscope inspection showed trace marks in the shell consistent with those of a sharp instrument reproduced in our laboratory, this is distinct from the pattern resulting from a spontaneous tear in the shell of the implant.Elongation tests confirmed the shell complied with the international specification standards.In conclusion, it was determined that a probable cause for the rupture reported was a cut resulting from a sharp instrument used which could have weakened the shell.· establishment labs will continue to monitor for similar complaints/trends.
