The product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: during visual evaluation no apparent damage was observed.The manufacturing records were reviewed, and the manufacturing criteria were met prior to the release of this lot.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.Seroma is a known complication associated with this surgery and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.Manufacturer's reference number: (b)(4).
