Clarification to d6a: partial date of 2011 provided.Continued e1: (b)(6).A review of the device history record has been completed.No deviations or non-conformances noted.The event of capsular contracture is a physiological complication and analysis of the device generally does not assist allergan in determining a probable cause for this event.Further information from the reporter regarding event, product, or patient details has been/will be requested.No additional information is available at this time.Reason for reoperation: "implant bleeding"; capsular contracture, baker grade iv.

Lab results:
per the investigation procedure, the device is analyzed through visual inspection microscopic inspection if openings are observed and a weight verification (if applicable).Per the analysis performed, the assessments of the complaints and any potential manufacturing issue are displayed along with any further actions required:
gel bleed: not observed since the shell barrier can be observed through microscopic inspection.Capsular contracture: unable to observe through visual inspection as it is a physiological phenomenon.None of the other observations performed during the device analysis creases, opening, stress marks and wear abrasion are found to be potentially related to the manufacturing process, and, therefore, no further actions are required for these observations.
