Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On 09/03/18, it was reported to mentor that the device evaluation and investigation have been completed.Upon receipt by mentor, the device returned with clear fluid.Brown material was observed within the device.No foreign material was observed on the shell surface.Product evaluation team discovered a rent measuring approximately 0.4 cm within an area of siltex cracking on the posterior aspect.Also was noticed lines of shell wear on the anterior aspect, suggesting in-vivo folding or creasing of the device.No other anomalies were discovered.Potential cause: the complaint was confirmed since a rupture was found on the device.However, at this point it is not possible to determine the root cause of such damage or the etiology of the brown material found on the device.There is no evidence that the issue is related with manufacturing.Siltex cracking is defined as a material separation occurring in the siltex layer and can eventually progress through the shell of siltex devices.Mentor believes that siltex cracking is ultimately a result of high stresses caused by acute folds (i.E., severe ¿v¿ or tight folds) in the rtv shell of siltex breast implants.The severity level for this complaint code was determined to be a s3, which is defined as: necessitates intrusive medical or surgical intervention.Because pe was unable to confirm any unusual failure mode, no corrective action will be taken at this time.Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices and deflation is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our product insert data sheet.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
