Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
On 7/30/2019, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: during evaluation of the sample it was observed to be intact.No anomalies were observed.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 phenomenon is referred to as capsular contracture.Implant displacement/migration may occur from improper implant sizing and/or placement, i.E., when the implant is too large or the pocket too small or when there has been inadequate preoperative assessment of stresses causing movement of the prosthesis.The manufacturing records were reviewed and the manufacturing criteria were met prior to the release of this lot.This report is not intended to deny that you 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).
