Additional and/or corrected data: d9, h3, h6.Device evaluation:
per the investigation procedure, the device is analyzed through visual 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 an opening through microscopic inspection assessed as fold flaw opening.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 crease) are found to be potentially related to the manufacturing process, and, therefore, no further actions are required for these observations.
