As stated in the literature, ¿a number of risk factors for rupture have been identified; the most common cause is surgical instrument damage.¿ (handel et al., 2013).Additionally, rupture is a common and known reason for complaints, and it is clearly characterized in the product dfu included with the implant, as stated above.Additionally, no cases of rupture because of product failure have been reported to establishment labs ever.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: ¿breast implants can potentially remain intact for decades in the body, but all such devices will fail at some point.Breast implants rupture when the shell develops a tear or hole.Rupture can occur at any time after implantation, but it is most likely to occur; the longer the implant is in place.The following may cause implants to rupture: damage by surgical instruments, implant stress, and weakening during implantation, age and design of the implant, submuscular rather than sub-glandular location, the occurrence of post-operatory hematomas or seromas, folding or wrinkling of the implant shell, excessive force to the chest, trauma, compression during mammographic imaging, and severe capsular contracture¿.Establishment labs requests the unit to confirm the event and to perform the corresponding testing (including but not limited to: revision and characterization under the microscope of the rupture section, mechanical testing according to approved standards, etc.).For this specific case, the device is available for evaluation and will be returned.Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, and implant rupture is a risk associated with breast surgery, which can occur at any time.

A causal relationship between the reported event and the device could not be established.The pms laboratory received the explanted unit, visual inspection of the implant revealed no observable physical damage, deformation, or structural defects as rupture.Based on the testing results and on the absence of any visible signs of rupture, damage, or manufacturing anomalies upon detailed visual examination, it is concluded that the returned unit is intact and undamaged.No evidence was found to indicate a product-related failure.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 the alleged event 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.
