Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Suspect device received on december 04, 2025.Device evaluation completed on december 11, 2025: according to the information received, a rupture was observed in the breast implant during surgery.The product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was found to have a tear on the anterior view, measuring approximately 4.9 cm.Microscopic examination was performed and the cause of the tear could not be identified.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 reach on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: according to the product insert data sheet, it is possible to damage the implant during insertion.Ensure that excessive force is not applied to a very small area of the shell during insertion of the device through the incision.Instead, apply force over as large an area of the implant as possible.Avoid pushing the device into place with one or two fingers in a localized area, as this may create an area of weakness on the shell.In addition, an incision should be of appropriate length to accommodate the style, size, and profile of the implant.This will reduce the potential for creating excessive stress to the implant during insertion, and will avoid the risk of damage to the implant.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
