Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On august 20, 2025, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.Per paperwork received with the device, date of explant under field d6b has been updated to july 31, 2025.On august 26, 2025, device evaluation was completed as follows: mentor conducted a visual inspection.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was found to be ruptured.As the authorization form for examination was not received, the product evaluation lab could not reach a conclusion regarding the specific nature of the ruptures.The evaluation was limited to non-destructive testing.Mentor also performed a manufacturing record evaluation related to the reported complaint for the finished device lot number.No manufacturing non-conformances were identified as part of this evaluation.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following things may cause implant to rupture: damage by surgical instruments; stressing the implant during implantation and weakening it; folding or wrinkling of the implant shell; excessive force to the chest (e.G.During closed capsulotomy); trauma; compression during mammographic imaging; and severe capsular contracture.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.Most women undergoing augmentation or reconstruction with a mammary prosthesis will experience some pain postoperatively.While pain normally subsides in most women as they heal from surgery, it can become a chronic problem in other women.Chronic pain can be associated with a variety of factors.Surgeons should instruct their patients to inform them if there is significant pain or if pain persists.Pain is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.The contralateral device was also received (lot number 5612765).The patient did not report any issue with this device.Therefore, no further analysis of the contralateral device is required.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: no corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals is conducted through complaint trending as part of post market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
