    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    ON MARCH 1, 2024, MENTOR RECEIVED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INDICATING THAT THE IMPLANTS WERE INTACT UPON REMOVAL. IN ADDITION, THE PATIENT WAS ACTUALLY DIAGNOSED WITH LEFT BREAST CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE (BAKER GRADE III) AND BILATERAL BREAST CALCIFICATIONS. LASTLY, THE PATIENT'S IMPLANTS WERE REPLACED BILATERALLY WITH THE DEVICES: (LEFT) 580CC MENTOR MEMORYGEL BOOST BREAST IMPLANT CATALOG: SMHB580 LOT: 9981651 SN: (B)(6) AND (RIGHT) 580CC MENTOR MEMORYGEL BOOST BREAST IMPLANT CATALOG: SMHB580 LOT: 9968426 SN: (B)(6). ON MARCH 6, 2024, THE MENTOR FAILURE ANALYSIS LAB RECEIVED THE DEVICE FOR EVALUATION. ON MARCH 8, 2024, THE PRODUCT INVESTIGATION WAS COMPLETED. DEVICE INVESTIGATION SUMMARY: THE PRODUCT WAS RETURNED TO MENTOR FOR EVALUATION. MENTOR CONDUCTED A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE RETURNED DEVICE. DURING VISUAL EVALUATION, NO APPARENT DAMAGE OR VISUAL ANOMALIES WERE OBSERVED ON THE SMOOTH HPG, 600CC 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. AS PART OF MENTOR¿S QUALITY PROCESS, ALL DEVICES ARE MANUFACTURED, INSPECTED, AND RELEASED TO APPROVED SPECIFICATIONS. SINCE NO MALFUNCTION WAS OBSERVED DURING THE INVESTIGATION, NO CORRECTIVE AND PREVENTIVE ACTION (CAPA) IS REQUIRED NOW.

    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: MATERIAL 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. IF CERTAIN INFORMATION IS UNKNOWN, NOT AVAILABLE OR DOES NOT APPLY, THE SECTION/FIELD OF THE FORM IS LEFT BLANK. MANUFACTURER¿S REFERENCE NUMBER: (B)(4).
