Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor then conducted visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device determined that the breast implant was found to have a tear in the anterior aspect, measuring approximately 2.1cm.Additionally, the breast implant appears white.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the rupture, and parallel striations were found in an area of the tear on the anterior aspect, measuring approximately 0.2 cm.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the implant shell.The cause of the rupture in the remaining area 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.Discoloration of the implants as observed in the sample returned is related to the concentration of the triglycerides in the gel fillers and their degree of unsaturation.This finding is consistent with the reported discoloration of breast implant silicone gel in vivo in the scientific literature.Regarding the reported capsular contracture condition, there are not enough details to determine the factors that may have caused this condition.Capsular contracture in the patient¿s breast might be the result of the body¿s individual physiological response to the implantation of a foreign object in soft tissue.Further, capsular contracture 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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
