Updated device evaluation completed on july 9th, 2020: during visual evaluation no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the returned device.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.Each device is visually inspected during manufacturing to ensure the device meets the required specifications prior to shipment.Necessary.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluation summary: the sample was visually inspected and no apparent damage was found.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.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.All the implants are 100% inspected before leaving the facility.There is no evidence that the issue is related with manufacturing.Additional information received on 3/27/2020, indicated that the date of event was on 1/10/2020.Patient underwent bilateral removal and replacement as follow: left replaced with cat#:3502425, lot#:9411927, and right replaced with cat#:3502425, sn#:(b)(6).This report is for the left side.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
