Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On 08/22/2018, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On 08/29/2018, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.Upon receipt by mentor, the device contained no fluid.No foreign material was observed within the device or on the shell surface.During visual examination of the device, the product evaluation (pe) team observed a rent on the posterior view measuring approximately 0.4 cm.Microscopic examination of the rent edges gave no indication as to its cause.No other anomalies were found.Mentor products are 100% visually inspected prior to release in addition to thorough in-process testing during several stages of the manufacturing process.Pe concluded that the rent occurred sometime subsequent to the removal of the device from its protective packaging.The complaint of deflation was confirmed since a rent was found on the device.Nonetheless, a microscopic examination of the rent edges was performed and it did not provide conclusive evidence of what could be the root cause.There is no evidence that the issue is related with manufacturing.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; however, deflation trends for mentor saline-filled devices will continue to be monitored by quality assurance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
