A causal relationship between the reported event and the device has been established.Upon thorough evaluation of the submitted clinical documentation and supporting evidence, the reported event did not meet the requirements for a capsular contracture, classified as baker grade iii/iv.This classification indicates moderate to severe contracture, characterized by firmness, distortion, and potential patient discomfort or pain.Capsular contracture 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 capsular contracture is recognized as multifactorial, with potential contributing elements including postoperative patient-specific biological responses, and surgical technique.Given the absence of manufacturing deviations or anomalies, and in line with current clinical literature, the event is considered not attributable to a defect in the device or its production.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.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 the reported event 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.
