Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a (b)(6) year-old caucasian female patient underwent a breast augmentation revision with a saline mentor siltex contour profile moderate 225cc and experienced deflation on the right breast implant.As a result, the patient had undergone removal on (b)(6) 2019.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On 5/14/2019, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.The analysis has begun but is not complete at this time.When the investigational analysis has been completed, a supplemental report will be submitted.On 6/4/2019, it was reported to mentor that the replacement devices were saline mentor smooth round moderate plus profile 275cc.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On 6/5/2019, the analysis results showed an area of siltex cracking in the posterior aspect.Within the area of siltex cracking was observed a tear measuring approximately 0.4 cm.No other anomalies were discovered.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.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).
