On 11/15/19, the investigation on the suspected medical device was completed.Investigation summary : during evaluation of the device, it was observed that there were two lines of shell wear in anterior view.There were two (2) tears (a, b) within the two lines of shell wear, located at the anterior view , measuring approximately 0.3 cm (a) and 0.2cm (b).No other anomalies were observed.These kind of findings are consistent with a crease/fold failure which is a known inherent risk associated with the use of saline-filled mammary prostheses and may be the result of one or more of the following contributing factors: underinflation or overinflation of the device, continuous and sustained stresses to the device - such as too small a breast pocket and folding or wrinkling of the shell in the breast pocket, resulting in a tear at a later date.It should be noted that as part of our quality process, each device is visually inspected during manufacturing to ensure the device meets the required specifications prior to shipment.Manufacturer's reference number: (b)(4).
