Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On april 25, 2025, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On may 02, 2025, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor then conducted visual inspection and microscopic examination of the device.Visual analysis of the returned device determined that the breast implant had a tear on the anterior view, measuring approximately 10.0 cm.Microscopic examination was performed and the cause of the tear could not be identified.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: according to the product insert data sheet, it is possible to damage the implant during insertion.Ensure that excessive force is not applied to a very small area of the shell during insertion of the device through the incision.Instead, apply force over as large an area of the implant as possible.Avoid pushing the device into place with one or two fingers in a localized area, as this may create an area of weakness on the shell.In addition, an incision should be of appropriate length to accommodate the style, size, and profile of the implant.This will reduce the potential for creating excessive stress to the implant during insertion and will avoid the risk of damage to the implant.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
