Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On february 04, 2026, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.On february 06, 2026, the evaluation for the device was completed.Device evaluation summary: visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was found to be ruptured.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture is the trauma experienced.Rupture can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Trauma is a known inherent risk of gel-filled mammary prosthesis.Most women undergoing augmentation or reconstruction with a mammary prosthesis will experience some pain postoperatively.While pain normally subsides in most women as they heal from surgery, it can become a chronic problem in other women.Chronic pain can be associated with a variety of factors.Surgeons should instruct their patients to inform them if there is significant pain or if pain persists.Pain 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: no corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
