Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluation summary: the analysis results show that the device appeared intact.Leak testing revealed there was a tear at the union between the dome union ( found in the anterior view) and shell of the implant.Microscopic examination of the edges of the rent gave no indications of instrument damage.No other anomalies observed.Microscopic examination of the edges of the tear was performed and it did not provide conclusive evidence of what could be the root cause.The condition observed on the returned sample might be related to an excessive force applied to the device, this cannot be conclusively determined, as rupture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in the product insert data sheet.The manufacturing records were reviewed and the manufacturing criteria were met prior to the release of this lot.Deflation is a known complication associated with mentor mammary prostheses.Possible causes of deflation of saline-filled implants include, but are not limited to the following events: excessive stresses or manipulations as may occur during normal, daily routines including customary and purposeful trauma to the breast.The reported complaint was confirmed.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.It should be noted that as part of our quality process, each device is visually inspected and functionally tested during manufacturing to ensure the device meets the required specifications prior to shipment.Based on the information reported and/or the product investigation, there is no evidence that the issue is related with the manufacturing process.Complaint information will be included in complaint trending that is reviewed and monitor by quality assurance on a regular basis to determine if further action is necessary.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
