Device evaluation: during evaluation of the sample it was observed to be intact.No additional anomalies were observed.Based on the facts of the case, is unrelated to the breast implant and related to the patient condition.Postoperative formation of a fibrous tissue capsule around a mammary prosthesis is a normal physiologic response to the implantation of a foreign object and occurs in all patients in varying degrees.In some cases, contracture of the fibrous capsule may occur.This condition has also been associated with device deflation/ rupture, wrinkling and/or displacement of the prosthesis.Capsular contracture may be more common following infection, hematoma, and seroma, and the chance of it happening may increase over time.No further investigation will be conducted on this complaint due to external cause.The reported complaint could not be confirmed.This report is not intended to deny that patients experienced a problem with the device.There may have been other circumstances or issues that occurred during the use of the device that we were unable to duplicate during our laboratory analysis.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
