¿the human breast is not a sterile anatomic structure; it contains endogenous flora, derived from the nipple ducts, that is essentially similar to that found in normal skin.Multiple breast ducts provide a passage from the skin surface to deep within the breast tissue¿.(pittet et al, 2005).Infection following breast augmentation is reported in 1¿4% of cases in different studies.Many risk factors have been correlated with breast infection.General conditions such as obesity, diabetes, immunodeficiency, and cigarette smoking are associated with an increased risk of infection.Symptoms of infection usually manifest during the first 2 postoperative weeks, but delayed infections may occur months or even years after the operation.(john e.Skandalakis, 2009).The origin of infection in women with implants remains difficult to determine, but potential sources include a contaminated implant, the surgery itself or the surgical environment, the patient's skin or mammary ducts, or, as suggested by many reports, seeding of the implant from remote infection sites.(pittet et al, 2005).¿systemic antibiotic prophylaxis at the time of surgery is associated with a significant reduction of the infection rate (0·42% vs 0·87%) in a large study of 39 455 patients undergoing breast augmentation.¿ (pittet et al, 2005).Each patient must receive the establishment labs s.A.¿motiva implants®: information for the patient¿ during her surgical consultation, it is the surgeons´ responsibility to ensure that the patient completely understands the information regarding the risks, benefits, and recommendations associated with silicone gel-filled breast implant surgery, as well as the complications typical of any type of surgery.This document is available in motiva® website: ifu.Motiva.Health.The instructions for use in the directions for use were reviewed, to determinate if there are indications that ensure the prevention and good handling of the product.For this event, it is considered that the information is suitable for the section of surgical precautions as follows: ¿infection can occur with any surgery or implant.Most infections resulting from surgery appear within a few days to weeks after the operation.However, infection is possible at any time after surgery.In addition, breast and nipple piercing procedures may increase the possibility of infection.Infections in tissue with an implant present are harder to treat than infections in tissue without an implant.If an infection does not respond to antibiotics, the implant may have to be removed, and another implant may be placed after the infection is resolved." also, a complete review of the dhr was carried out, no deviation was found in the process, so it is established that there is no evidence of a relationship between the event and the manufacturing process.Device is pending to be returned to establishment labs.

General conclusion: event analysis: after an analysis of the clinical evidence provided and the report, it was possible to confirm the alleged event.Additionally, no damage was found on the unit involved.The alleged event is a risk associated with breast surgery and there is no evidence to suggest a link between this particular implant and/or its manufacturing process and a higher risk of occurrence.The cause of this event is multifactorial, and we cannot conclude that the reported event was caused by the manufacturing process and/or the product itself.Dhr review: a complete review of the dhr for lot involved was carried out, no deviation was found in the manufacturing process.Additionally, there were no indications of abnormalities in raw materials or manufacturing processes which may have affected this particular batch.Establishment labs will continue to monitor for similar complaints/trends.As part of the post market surveillance process, monitoring of the primary endpoints reported is performed to determine unfavorable trends.Per our current complaint data report, no unfavorable trends were detected on this product.No further actions are required.
