Clarification to b3 date of event: partial date april 2025 - patient began experiencing symptoms "about 3 months ago" relative to date of consult on 23/july/2025.The events of "capsular contracture" and "infection" are physiological complications and analysis of the device generally does not assist allergan in determining a probable cause for these events.Reason for reoperation: capsular contracture baker grade iii; "recurrent wound and drainage" further investigation: with the information collected during the investigation, there is enough evidence to support that units involved in this work order were manufactured under controlled conditions in accordance with abbvie¿s procedures and were no defects/problems/issues found in the documents related to the reported event.Seal strength was successfully completed and results were acceptable.Environmental monitoring results were found to be acceptable, and they confirmed that there was not an adverse impact on environmental conditions, device quality or performance.The sterilization run 30002212 is not related to any additional complaint infection record reported as of today.Considering that there is no adverse trend for this type of event, no additional actions are deemed required at this time.The issue with infection will continue to be monitored and corrective actions will be taken in the future if deemed appropriate.Given the fact that the cause of the infection cannot be specifically associated with the manufacturing process, and there is not an adverse trend for this type of event, and no er/ ncr(s) were identified during the investigation associated with this lot and the complaint, no corrective action is deemed necessary at this time.Device evaluation: based on the product analysis performed, the assessments of the complaints are: ¿ capsular contracture: unable to observe as it is not related to the manufacturing process.¿ rupture: not observed.¿ infection (late onset): unable to observe as it is not related to the manufacturing process.¿ calcification: not observed.As per the investigation procedures, creases, wear abrasion, non-penetrating nicks and deformation were completed and none of the observations are found to be potentially related to the manufacturing process, no further actions are required.
