On may 31, 2020, the product investigation summary was updated: microscopic examination in the tear edges revealed parallel striations that are consistent with markings made by a sharp instrument perforating silicone material.Mentor concluded that the capsular contracture in the patient´s breast was the result of the body´s individual physiological response to the implantation of a foreign object in soft tissue.Capsular contracture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.The american society of plastic surgeons recommends and encourages member surgeons to always submit breast implants, capsule, and effusion to pathology for examination.As part of our quality process, the manufacturing records of lot 7298880 were reviewed and the manufacturing standards were met prior to the release of this lot.Each device is visually inspected during manufacturing to ensure the device meets the required specifications prior to shipment.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).

On march 23, 2020, the product investigation was completed.A manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was performed for the complaint device.As a result, the manufacturing date field has been updated.The manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was reviewed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Device investigation summary: during visual inspection of the sample, it was found to be ruptured.Microscopic examination of the edges of the rupture revealed parallel striations consistent with a rupture with a sharp object.The striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp instrument perforating silicone material.As stated in the product insert data sheet, do not allow cautery devices or sharp instruments, such as scalpels, suture needles, hypodermic needles, hemostats, adson forceps or scissors to contact the device during the implantation or other surgical procedures as this can result in rupture.Most women undergoing augmentation or reconstruction with a mammary prosthesis will experience some breast and/or chest pain post-operatively.While pain normally subsides in most women as they heal from surgery, it can become a chronic problem in other women.Chronic pain can be associated with the compression of nerves, hematoma, migration, infection, surgical technique, improper size, placement or capsular contracture.The manufacturing records were reviewed, and the manufacturing criteria were met prior to the release of this lot.The second product received (lot number 7298880) is a concomitant device, therefore no further analysis is required.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
