    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    ON OCTOBER 18, 2023, THE MENTOR FAILURE ANALYSIS LAB RECEIVED THE DEVICE FOR EVALUATION. PER PAPERWORK RECEIVED WITH THE DEVICE, DATE OF EXPLANT UNDER FIELD D6B HAS BEEN UPDATED TO (B)(4) 2023 ON THIS FORM.' ON OCTOBER 23, 2033, DEVICE EVALUATION WAS COMPLETED. DEVICE EVALUATION SUMMARY: MENTOR CONDUCTED A VISUAL INSPECTION, MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION, AND THICKNESS MEASUREMENT OF THE RETURNED DEVICE. VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED SAMPLE REVEALED THAT THE SMOOTH HPG, 500CC BREAST IMPLANT WAS FOUND TO BE RUPTURED. A MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION WAS PERFORMED, AND THE CAUSE OF THE RUPTURE COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED. THEREFORE A THICKNESS MEASUREMENT WAS CONDUCTED ON THE SHELL AT THE TEAR, AND THE THICKNESS WAS WITHIN MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATIONS. A MANUFACTURING RECORD EVALUATION WAS PERFORMED FOR THE FINISHED DEVICE LOT NUMBER, AND NO NON-CONFORMANCES WERE IDENTIFIED. ALTHOUGH NO CONCLUSION COULD BE REACHED ON THE CAUSE OF THE REPORTED EVENT, THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING CAUTION: RUPTURE CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME AFTER IMPLANTATION, BUT IT IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR THE LONGER THE IMPLANT IS IMPLANTED. THE FOLLOWING THINGS MAY CAUSE THE IMPLANT TO RUPTURE: DAMAGE BY SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS; STRESSING THE IMPLANT DURING IMPLANTATION AND WEAKENING IT; FOLDING OR WRINKLING OF THE IMPLANT SHELL; EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE CHEST (E.G. DURING CLOSED CAPSULOTOMY); TRAUMA; COMPRESSION DURING MAMMOGRAPHIC IMAGING; AND SEVERE CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE. BREAST IMPLANTS MAY ALSO SIMPLY WEAR OUT OVER TIME. AS PART OF MENTOR¿S QUALITY PROCESS, ALL DEVICES ARE MANUFACTURED, INSPECTED, AND RELEASED TO APPROVED SPECIFICATIONS. CAPA ACTIVITY WAS NOT REQUIRED. ADDITIONAL COMPLAINT INFORMATION MONITORING FOR POTENTIAL SAFETY SIGNALS IS CONDUCTED THROUGH COMPLAINT TRENDING AS PART OF POST-MARKET SURVEILLANCE. MANUFACTURER¿S REFERENCE NUMBER: (B)(4).

    SINCE THE DEVICE HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED FOR ANALYSIS, NO PRODUCT FAILURE ANALYSIS CAN BE CONDUCTED, AND NO DETERMINATION OF POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS CAN BE MADE. AS SUCH, THE INVESTIGATION WILL BE CLOSED. IF THE COMPLAINT DEVICE IS RECEIVED IN THE FUTURE, THE INVESTIGATION WILL BE REOPENED AND CONDUCTED AS APPROPRIATE. A MANUFACTURING RECORD EVALUATION (MRE) WAS PERFORMED, 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. REASON FOR DEVICE EXPLANT AND/OR REOPERATION: LEFT RUPTURE MENTOR IS SUBMITTING THIS REPORT PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF 21 CFR, PART 803. THIS REPORT MAY BE BASED ON INFORMATION WHICH MENTOR HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO INVESTIGATE OR VERIFY PRIOR TO THE REQUIRED REPORTING DATE. THIS REPORT DOES NOT REFLECT A CONCLUSION BY FDA, MENTOR, OR ITS EMPLOYEES THAT THE REPORT CONSTITUTES AN ADMISSION THAT THE DEVICE, MENTOR, OR ITS EMPLOYEES CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE POTENTIAL EVENT DESCRIBED IN THIS REPORT. MANUFACTURER¿S REFERENCE NUMBER: (B)(4).
