Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On february 26, 2025 mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was ruptured.As the authorization form for examination was not received, the product evaluation lab could not reach a conclusion regarding the specific nature of the ruptures.The evaluation was limited to non-destructive testing.Mentor also performed a manufacturing record evaluation related to the reported complaint for the finished device lot number.No manufacturing non-conformances were identified as part of this evaluation.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture can occur at any time after implantation but is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following may cause implant to rupture: stressing the implant during implantation and weakening it; folding or wrinkling of the implant shell; excessive force to the chest (e.G.During closed capsulotomy); trauma; compression during mammographic imaging; and severe capsular contracture.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
