Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluation summary: the device was visually inspected and no apparent damage was found.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.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.All the implants are 100% inspected before leaving the facility.There is no evidence that the issue is related with manufacturing.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
