As stated in the literature: ¿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).Per our directions for use, 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: "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 more challenging to treat than infections in tissue without an implant present.If an infection does not respond to antibiotics, the implant may have to be removed, with replacement occurring only after the infection is resolved.As with other surgical procedures, toxic shock syndrome (tss), a life-threatening condition, has been reported in rare instances following breast implant surgery.Tss symptoms occur suddenly and can include high fever (102° f/38.8° c or higher), vomiting, diarrhea, fainting, dizziness, and/or sunburn-like rash.Patients should contact their doctor immediately for diagnosis and treatment if they experience these symptoms".In addition, a review of the device history record was conducted, and it was concluded that there were no deviations in the manufacturing process of this device that would have caused or contributed to this incident.

Upon thorough evaluation of the submitted clinical documentation and supporting evidence, the infection was confirmed; however seroma could not be confirmed due to lack of evidence.These events are well-documented complication inherent to breast implant surgery.Based on the analysis of the available data, including clinical findings and product traceability records, there is no evidence indicating a causal link between this specific case and any product-related factors, including raw materials or manufacturing processes.The etiology of the alleged events are recognized as multifactorial, given the absence of manufacturing deviations or anomalies, and in line with current clinical literature, these events are considered not attributable to the manufacturing process and/or the product itself.A comprehensive review of the device history record (dhr) for the affected lot was completed.No deviations, non-conformances, or anomalies were identified during manufacturing.All raw materials and process parameters conformed to specified quality requirements.The event has been evaluated as part of ongoing trend analysis activities within the pms program.Per the current complaint data report: no adverse or unexpected trends related to device rupture have been identified.No further corrective or preventive actions are required at this time.Establishment labs will continue to monitor for similar events as part of routine pms surveillance.
