Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
A review of the device history record has been completed.No deviations or non-conformances noted.Further investigation results: with the information collected during the investigation, there is enough evidence to support that device was manufactured under controlled conditions in accordance with allergan procedures.Seal strength results were acceptable.Environmental monitoring results were found to be acceptable and they confirmed that there was not an adverse impact on environmental conditions, device quality or performance.The sterilization run number is not related to any additional complaint infection record reported as of today.During the trend review of all infection complaints for gel breast implants for the period of apr/2018 through mar/2020, it was noted an outlier in (b)(6) 2018.An additional analysis was performed to determine any pattern or any similarities relation between records involved.It was found that one primary packaging operator was involved in more than one occasion; however, the person was trained in the corresponding procedure.Also, calibrations, maintenance and validations of the equipment involved in more than one occasion were reviewed and it was determined that they were performed on time and met specifications.In addition, all the records involved in this month were reviewed and no issues were found associated to either event.Given the fact that the cause of the infection cannot be specifically associated to the manufacturing process, and there is not an adverse trend for this type of event, no corrective action is deemed necessary at this time.
