Allergan did not submit this mdr within 30 days of becoming aware.Recent stimulated reporting related to 2011068-7/2/19-001-r has increased complaint and mdr volume.Allergan is implementing a plan to address the increased volumes. further investigation summary: with the information collected during the investigation, there is enough evidence to support that device serial number (b)(6) was manufactured under controlled conditions in accordance with allergan medical procedures.Seal strength results were acceptable.Environmental monitoring and bioburden results were found to be acceptable.The sterilization run (b)(4) is not related to any additional complaint infection record reported as of today.During the trend review of all infection complaints for gel breast implants for the period of (b)(6) 2017 through (b)(6) 2019, was noted an outlier in (b)(6) 2017.An additional analysis was performed to determine any pattern or any similarities relation between pr¿s involved.It was found that some primary packaging operators were involved in more than one occasion, however the people were trained in the corresponding procedure.Also, calibrations, maintenance and validations of the equipments involved in more than one occasion were reviewed and it was determined that they were performed on time and met specifications.In addition, all the records involved in this month was reviewed and no issues, deviations or ncs were found associated to either event.Given the fact that the cause of the infection cannot be specifically associated to costa rica manufacturing process, and there is not an adverse trend for this type of event no corrective action is deemed necessary at this time.
