Device evaluation: the device related to the reported events rupture and capsular contracture was received on (b)(6) 2026 with lot number 3638946.Per the investigation procedure, the device is analyzed through visual inspection microscopic inspection if openings are observed and a weight verification.Per the analysis performed, the assessments of the complaints and any potential manufacturing issue are displayed along with any further actions required:
- rupture: observed broken device through microscopic inspection assessed as surgical damage and observed a missing piece of shell through microscopic inspection assessed as inconclusive.No further actions are required as it is not related to the manufacturing process.- capsular contracture: unable to observe through visual inspection as it is a physiological phenomenon.None of the other observations performed during the device analysis non penetrating nick and creases are found to be potentially related to the manufacturing process, and, therefore, no further actions are required for these observations.Additional, changed, and/or corrected data: d.9., h.2., h.3., h.6.
