Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On april 03, 2025, mentor received additional information regarding the patient's event.It was reported that the patient experienced capsular contracture (baker grade 2).It was also reported via ultrasound that the had granuloma.The patient had multiple echogenic lymph nodes with "snowstorm" shadowing on the left side.The lymph nodes measured 1.9 cm in the long axis.Coding in section h6-health effect - clinical code has been updated to capture this additional information.On april 07, 2025, mentor received additional information reporting that the patient's replacement device was a 320cc mentor memorygel boost breast implant ((b)(6)) with serial number (b)(6).On april 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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On may 02, 2025, the evaluation for the device was completed.Device evaluation summary: visual analysis of the returned device revealed that mentor memoryshape¿ mm+ 330cc breast implant was found to be ruptured.In addition, siltex cracking was noted on the edges of the rupture.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Siltex cracking is defined as a material separation occurring in the siltex layer and can eventually progress through the shell of siltex devices.Siltex cracking is ultimately a result of high stresses.Granulomas are noncancerous nodules that are a common tissue reaction to the presence of a variety of foreign materials, such as silicone.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, 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).
