Device evaluation: visual analysis of the returned device identified: one opening curved in anterior side.A leak test was performed which identify one opening on the device.Microscopic analysis was performed which identified one opening curved in anterior side displayed striated edge consistent with the use of a surgical tool.Based on the device analysis the final assessment is: - one opening due to surgical damage.A review of the device history record has been completed.No deviations or non-conformances noted.Further information from the reporter regarding event, product, or patient details has been requested.No additional information is available at this time.Device labeling: potential adverse events that may occur with breast implant surgery include: implant deflation/leakage, additional surgery, capsular contracture, infection, toxic shock syndrome, necrosis, hematoma, seroma, extrusion, breast pain, changes in nipple sensation, changes in breast sensation, dissatisfaction with cosmetic results (wrinkling, folding, displacement, asymmetry, palpability, visibility, ptosis, sloshing), calcific deposits, irritation/inflammation, delayed wound healing, hypertrophic scarring, breast tissue atrophy/chest wall deformity, difficulty/inability in breast feeding, and inability to adequately visualize breast lesions with mammography.In addition to these potential adverse events, there have been concerns with certain systemic diseases.Deflation ¿ tissue expanders may deflate, and require replacement surgery.Deflation occurs when saline leaks through a damaged injection site or a damaged tissue expander envelope.The expander and injection site may leak as a result of damage from surgical instruments or trauma.Deflation releases the saline (salt water) filling and will require surgery to replace the expander to continue with the expansion process.
