General conclusion: device involvement: a causal relationship between the reported event and the device has/has not been established.Event characterization: the event was classified as not confirmed.Clinical confirmation: upon thorough evaluation of the submitted clinical documentation and supporting evidence, the reported case was not confirmed.Root cause analysis: this event is a well-documented complication inherent to breast implant surgery.Based on the analysis of the available data, including clinical findings and product traceability records, there is no evidence indicating a causal link between this specific case and any product-related factors, including raw materials or manufacturing processes.The etiology of the alleged event is recognized as multifactorial, given the absence of manufacturing deviations or anomalies, and in line with current clinical literature, the event is considered not attributable to the manufacturing process and/or the product itself.Dfu and labeling evaluation: the event is a known, well-documented complication associated with silicone breast implants.It is clearly addressed in the product¿s directions for use (dfu), which states: symmastia ¿ this is a relatively rare implant-displacement problem that occurs when the skin and muscle between the breasts over the sternum (breastbone) detaches, and the two pockets of tissue that hold the breast implants come together to form one pocket.This allows the implants to come together in the middle, creating the appearance of a ¿uniboob¿ and sometimes causing discomfort or pain.It¿s often difficult to correct symmastia and it may require more than one surgery.In most cases, surgery will involve removing the implants and replacing them with new (usually smaller) implants.The dfu also emphasizes the responsibility of the surgeon to fully inform the patient of potential risks and complications during the pre-operative consultation.Patients are provided with the document ¿motiva implants®: information for the patient,¿ accessible at ifu.Motiva.Health.Device history record (dhr) review: 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.Trend and signal monitoring: 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 device rupture 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.
