Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a 37-year-old caucasian female patient underwent a primary breast augmentation with a 375cc mentor smooth round spectrum saline breast prosthesis and experienced a deflation on the right side post-operatively, which was diagnosed during surgery.The patient underwent explantation on (b)(6) 2025, and replaced with a 325cc mentor memorygel breast implant (catalog number 3503251bc) with lot number 9939858.A discrepancy was observed when the information reported included a date of implantation (2004) that occurred prior to the manufacturing date of the breast implant.If new information becomes available, mentor will submit a supplemental report.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On august 11, 2025, a photo evaluation for the device was completed.Photo evaluation summary: upon visual evaluation of the image provided in the complaint, the implant was observed deflated.As the product involved in this complaint was not received, the device could not be analyzed according to our procedures.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.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 will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post market surveillance.A manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was performed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Reason for device explant and/or reoperation: deflation.D4: udi: as the serial number for the device involved in the event was not provided, the full udi is currently not available.Mentor is submitting this report pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803.This report may be based on information which mentor has not been able to investigate or verify prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by fda, mentor, or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the device, mentor, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.On august 25, 2025, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.The analysis has begun but is not complete at this time.When the investigational analysis has been completed, a supplemental report will be submitted.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On august 25, 2025, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.On september 01, 2025, the evaluation for the device was completed.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation with approximately 20.7 cm of tubing attached to the implant, the connector and injection dome were received separately.Mentor conducted visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant had a crease/fold on the anterior view.In addition, a tear was noted within the crease measuring approximately 0.7 cm the evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Deflation can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Creating wrinkles or folds should be avoided during implantation or other procedures as it can result in a deflation in a later time.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.Asymmetry may be attributed to one or more of the following: contracture of the fibrous capsule, seroma or hematoma, development of postoperative breast dysplasia, unilateral discrepancy in muscle development, deflation of the implant, incorrect choice of implant shape or size, and surgical technique.Asymmetry is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.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, and that normal wear may have caused the observed defect.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).
