Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On february 5, 2026, device evaluation was completed as follows: mentor conducted a visual inspection, microscopic examination, and shell thickness of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was found to be ruptured.Microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the tear could not be identified.Therefore a thickness measurement was conducted on the shell at the tear, and the thickness was within manufacturing specifications.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 is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following may cause implant to rupture: 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.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).
