Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On 9/26/2019, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: during evaluation of the sample it was observed to be intact.No anomalies were observed.Excessive postoperative accumulation and/or transient re-accumulation 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.Infection, manifested by swelling, tenderness, pain and fever, may appear in the immediate postoperative period or at any time after insertion of the implant.In the absence of classic symptoms, sub-acute or chronic infections may be difficult to diagnose.If infection does not subside promptly with the appropriate treatment, removal of the implant is indicated.Infection is a known complication associated with any surgery.The manufacturing records were reviewed and the manufacturing criteria were met prior to the release of this lot.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).
