Device evaluation 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.Excessive postoperative accumulation and/or transient reaccumulation of fluid around an implant most likely occur soon after surgery; however, it can occur at any time.Symptoms from seroma may include swelling, pain, and bruising.While the body absorbs small hematomas and seromas, some will require surgery.Seromas presenting after the immediate post-operative period may require additional work-up by the surgeon.An investigation of the returned device was performed, and mentor could not uncover a device failure that we could connect to the reported medical symptoms.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
