Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The product was returned to mentor for evaluation, where a thorough investigation was conducted.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was found to have two areas of shell abrasion on posterior view.In addition, two tears were noted , tear a within one area of shell abrasion measuring approximately 1.4 cm and tear b within the other area of shell abrasion measuring approximately 0.7 cm.These findings are consistent with normal wear of the device.Shell abrasion suggests in-vivo folding or creasing of the device, which may be caused by continuous and sustained stresses to the device, such as an excessively small breast pocket or the folding or wrinkling of the shell within the breast pocket.In some cases, breast implants may also experience normal wear 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, and that normal wear may have caused the observed defect.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.A manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was performed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Reason for device explant and/or reoperation: elective exchange.Mentor is submitting this report pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803.This report may be based on information which mentor has not been able to investigate or verify prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by fda, mentor, or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the device, mentor, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
