Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On march 23, 2026, device evaluation was completed as follows: mentor conducted a visual inspection and leak testing 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 0.9 cm.Leak testing was performed, according to mentor procedure, and no additional areas of gel exposure were found.As the authorization form for examination was not received, the product evaluation lab could not reach a conclusion regarding the specific nature of the ruptures.The evaluation was limited to non-destructive testing.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 it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following things may cause implant to rupture: damage by surgical instruments; 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.This supplemental medwatch report is for the patient¿s left-sided device.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
