Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On february 24, 2025, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On february 28, 2024, device evaluation was completed as follows: mentor conducted visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device determined that the sx mpp gel 250cc breast implant was found to have a tear on the anterior view, measuring approximately 1.8 cm.Additionally, it was stated that the device was damaged during the explantation.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the rupture, and parallel striations were found in an area of the tear, measuring approximately 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.Regarding the reported capsular contracture condition, there are not enough details to determine the factors that may have caused this condition.Capsular contracture in the patient¿s breast might be the result of the body¿s individual physiological response to the implantation of a foreign object in soft tissue.Further, capsular contracture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.The american society of plastic surgeons recommends and encourages member surgeons to always submit breast implants, capsule, and effusion to pathology for examination.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: 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.This supplemental medwatch report is for the patient¿s left-sided device.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
