Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On february 25, 2025, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.The analysis has begun but is not complete at this time.When the investigational analysis has been completed, a supplemental report will be submitted.Paperwork received with the device provided a patient identifier.Patient identifier: (b)(6).(b)(4).
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On march 26, 2025, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant was found to have some bubbles within the gel.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and no areas of gel exposure were detected during the analysis.Bubbles in the gel can originate with changes in pressure and temperature which can affect volume.The shell wall is permeable to air, therefore trapped air can form bubbles with changes in pressure or temperature.When left by themselves with no changes in temperature or pressure, bubbles usually dissipate over time, unless trapped by cured gel.Infection, manifested by swelling, tenderness, pain and fever, may appear in the immediate postoperative period or at any time after insertion of the implant.In the absence of classic symptoms, subacute or chronic infections may be difficult to diagnose.If infection does not subside promptly with the appropriate treatment, removal of the implant is indicated.Infection is a known complication associated with any surgery.Per a database query, this is the only reported complaint of infection against this lot number.The mentor microbiology department has provided information on the sterility lot for the implanted device indicating that it met all sterilization parameters required to provide a 10e-6 sterility assurance level prior to release for distribution.Product evaluation concluded the reported infection occurred from a source other than the device.Infection is a known complication associated with any surgery and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
