Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a (b)(6) year old female patient underwent a breast augmentation revision with a saline mentor siltex round spectrum 175cc and experienced bilateral deflation on breast implants.As a result, the patient underwent bilateral removal and replacement with mentor smooth round moderate profile saline implants, catalog # 3501685, 525cc, s/n (b)(4) and catalog # 3501670, 425cc, s/n (b)(4) on 12/5/2018.This is for the right side implant, see manufacturer report number 1645337-2019-07878 for contralateral prosthesis.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluation summary: upon receipt by mentor, the device returned without fluid.No foreign material was observed within the device or on the shell surface.Mentor product analysis lab discovered a rent measuring approximately 1 cm and an area of siltex cracking on the posterior aspect.Microscopic examination was performed.No evidence of instrument damage was observed.No other anomalies were discovered.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.All the implants are 100% inspected before leaving the facility.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 room temperature vulcanization (rtv) shell of siltex breast implants.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).
