This follow-up was created to document the conclusion of the investigation.One testicular device was received for evaluation.Examination and testing of the returned device revealed a separation in the shell of the testicular near the midline.Testing revealed this to be a site of leakage.Microscopic examination of the separation revealed it to have a central groove, indicating contact with sharp instrumentation such as a needle.The injection port was confirmed to contact a needle stick, indicating the device had most likely been filled during the implant procedure.Because this component was released according to manufacturing and quality control procedures, it was concluded that the observed instrument separation in the testicular shell occurred subsequent to the device packaging being opened.Confirmation of a needle stick was noted in the injection port, indicating the device most likely was filled during the implant procedure.Based on the evaluation and information received, it was concluded that the separation may have occurred inadvertently during the implant procedure.The information received did not indicate how long the device was implanted prior to noting the reported deflation.A review of the device history record confirmed the devices from this lot met all specifications prior to release.A review of the complaint history database, nonconformances and capas revealed no trends for this lot.
