Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Since the device has not been returned for analysis, no product failure analysis can be conducted, and no determination of possible contributing factors can be made.As such, the investigation will be closed.If the complaint device is received in the future, the investigation will be reopened and conducted as appropriate.A manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was performed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Reason for device explant and/or reoperation: rupture.Mentor is submitting this report pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803.This report may be based on information which mentor has not been able to investigate or verify prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by fda, mentor, or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the device, mentor, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.If certain information is unknown, not available or does not apply, the section/field of the form is left blank.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient implanted with a 550cc mentor smooth round moderate plus profile saline breast prosthesis experienced a deflation on the right side post-operatively.As a result, the patient underwent explantation on (b)(6) 2025.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Mentor became aware the patient experienced implant site calcification and a local reaction post-operatively.Coding has been updated.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the sm mpps dv 550cc breast implant was found to have a tear on the posterior view measuring approximately 0.1 cm.In addition, a crease/fold was observed on the edges of the tear.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture found was consistent with normal wear.Deflation can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Creating wrinkles or folds should be avoided during implantation or other procedures as it can result in deflation at a later time.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.Swelling is a temporary normal post-operative condition.Depending on presentation, delayed swelling may require additional work-up by the surgeon.Swelling is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.Calcification and breast imaging calcification of a biomaterial occurs when calcium salts are deposited in the tissue capsule surrounding the implanted device.Calcification occurs in association with a wide variety of implanted prostheses, including breast implants, heart valves, vascular grafts, and soft contact lenses, as well as in the mature breast tissue of women that have not undergone breast surgery.Calcification of the fibrous capsule that may occur following implantation of breast prostheses is generally not of clinical significance, although it may exacerbate symptoms of capsular contracture.Concern has been raised, however; that calcification may interfere with tumor detection, because microcalcifications are considered a halfmark of malignant breast disease.Although clinicians have recommended pre- and post-surgical mammograms for augmentation patients to assist in distinguishing post-operative findings from calcification associated with malignancy, benign calcification resulting from surgery is generally considered distinguishable from malignant-type calcification.Further, no published reports were identified that document any actual occurrences of missed or delayed diagnoses attributable to capsular calcification.Calcification is not a phenomenon unique to breast implants.It occurs in 11 to 53 percent of women who underwent breast reduction procedures (abboud et aj.1995, m&nick et al.1990, brown et al.1987).In the breasts of women who have not undergone any breast surgery, the prevalence of benign calcifications increases progressively with age from 8 percent in women 25 to 29 years old up to 86 percent in women 75 to 79 years old (stomper et al.1996).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 and that normal wear may have caused the observed defect.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
