On 11/7/2019, the device was visually inspected, and it was found with no apparent damage.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 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.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, however complaint information will be included in complaint trending that is reviewed by quality assurance to determine if further action is necessary.A manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was performed for the finished device number 6811571, and no non-conformances related to the reported complaint were identified.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
