Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On jan 8, 2025, additional information was received indicating the patient also experienced bilateral ptosis.This report is for the right breast prosthesis.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On mar 19, 2025, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor then conducted visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample determined that the smo ro mod pro boost gel 430cc breast implant was found to be ruptured and received in three parts.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the rupture, and parallel striations were found in an area of the tear on the anterior view, measuring less than 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.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.Some breast ptosis is a normal component of the mature breast.Ptosis becomes undesirable when the breast parenchyma predominates below the areola, droops considerably below the inframammary fold and the nipple points downward.Augmentation alone, without consideration of the ptosis can produce a less than desirable cosmetic result known as a "rock in sock" deformity or an increased ptotic appearance.Ptosis is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.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 according to approved specifications.Based on the results of this investigation, it was determined that the product met the manufacturing release criteria.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
