Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The alleged event is a risk associated with breast surgery and there is no evidence to suggest a link between this particular implant and/or its manufacturing process and a higher risk of occurrence.A complete review of the dhr for lot involved was carried out, no deviation was found in the manufacturing process.Additionally, there were no indications of abnormalities in raw materials or manufacturing processes which may have affected this particular batch.The instructions for use in the directions for use were reviewed, to determinate if there are indications that ensure the prevention and good handling of the product.For this event, it is considered that the information is suitable for the section of surgical precautions as follows: 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.Per our directions for use, each patient must receive the establishment labs s.A.¿motiva implants®: information for the patient¿ during her surgical consultation, it is the surgeons´ responsibility to ensure that the patient completely understands the information regarding the risks, benefits, and recommendations associated with silicone gel-filled breast implant surgery, as well as the complications typical of any type of surgery.This document is available in motiva® website: ifu.Motiva.Health.Establishment labs will continue to monitor for similar complaints/trends.As part of the post market surveillance process, monitoring of the primary endpoints reported is performed to determine unfavorable trends.Per our current complaint data report, no unfavorable trends were detected on this product.No further actions are required.
Event or Problem Description
Usa.Allegedly, implants placed too close together and too low in the augmentation mammoplasty performed in (b)(6) 2025, she was diagnosed with mild symmastia.A revision surgery was performed.No patient demographics, such as weight, or ethnicity, were provided by the reporter.Efforts to gather additional information are ongoing, and the investigation remains in progress.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
General conclusion device involvement: a causal relationship between the reported event and the device 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: malposition ¿ malposition of a breast implant is defined as an incorrect placement during surgery or its shifting from its original position.It is also called displacement/lateralization.Malposition has been a frequent event reported due to its multifactorial causes and it can be expected during the lifetime of the device.The implant¿s shifting can be produced by trauma, capsular contracture, gravity, or initially wrong placement.The surgeon must plan the operation carefully and conduct the surgery with a technique that can minimize but not completely evade the risk of malposition.The risk associated with this event is dissatisfaction with aesthetic outcomes.Unsatisfactory results/cosmetic defect ¿ unsatisfactory results such as stretch marks, visibility and dissatisfaction with the implant volume may occur.Some of these results may cause discomfort.Pre-existing asymmetry may not be entirely correctable by implant surgery.Revision surgery could be indicated to increase patient satisfaction, but this involves additional considerations and risks.Careful preoperative planning and surgical technique can minimize but not always prevent unsatisfactory results.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.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.Literature reference: malposition karan chopra, md, arvind u.Gowda, md, edwin kwon, md, michelle eagan, md, w.Grant stevens, md, techniques to repair implant malposition after breast augmentation: a review, aesthetic surgery journal, volume 36, issue 6, june 2016, pages 660¿671, https://doi.Org/10.1093/asj/sjv261.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.
