Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On september 30, 2026, the evaluation for the device was completed.Device evaluation summary: visual analysis of the returned device revealed that no damage or anomalies were observed on the breast implant.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and were identified two tears ( a and b) on the posterior view, measuring both tears approximately 0.1 cm.In addition, no other areas of gel exposure were detected during the analysis.Because of the now settled u.S.Class action that applied, in part, to implants manufactured in texas, usa that were implanted on or before may 31, 1993, to avoid any potential allegation of spoliation of evidence, mentor is prohibited from conducting a further physical evaluation of this covered device.Mentor performs 100% inspection of all devices prior to release, product evaluation concluded that the tear occurred sometime subsequent to the removal of the device from its protective packaging although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following things may cause implant to rupture: damage by surgical instruments; stressing the implant during implantation and weakening it; folding or wrinkling of the implant shell; excessive force to the chest (e.G.During closed capsulotomy); trauma; compression during mammographic imaging; and severe capsular contracture.Breast implants may also simply wear out 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: no corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
