Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluation summary: upon receipt by mentor, the device weighed 730.6 grams.The gel contained in the device appeared clear.No foreign material was observed within the device.Gel was observed on the shell surface.The product evaluation team (pe) discovered a rent measuring 18cm located on the anterior aspect, extending to the posterior aspect, produced during the decontamination process.No other anomalies were discovered.A root cause failure analysis will not be conducted since the investigation could not confirm that an actual failure of the device to conform to expected performance had occurred.Allergic response is a state of hypersensitivity induced by exposure to a particular antigen resulting in harmful immunologic reactions on subsequent or continued exposures.Materials used in the manufacture of silicone saline breast implants are considered biocompatible, however, anecdotal reports of allergic response are reported in the literature.Due to the multiple exposures of the patient to drugs, chemicals and materials in the intra-operative and postoperative phase, it is often difficult to determine the specific antigen causing an allergic response.The device history record (dhr) was reviewed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the dhr review verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
