On (b)(6) 2020, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.On (b)(6) 2020, during analysis of the device a rupture in the posterior view, measuring approximately 0.6 cm was noted.Microscopic examination was performed.No evidence of instrument damage was observed.The evaluation determined that the rupture was caused by the stress occasioned to the shell by the capsular contracture.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.The manufacturing records were reviewed, and the manufacturing criteria were met prior to the release of this lot.It should be noted that as part of our quality process, each device is visually inspected during manufacturing to ensure the device meets the required specifications prior to shipment.Complaint information will be included in complaint trending that is reviewed and monitor by quality assurance on a regular basis to determine if further action is necessary.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
