    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    ON AUGUST 16, 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. VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED SAMPLE REVEALED THAT THE BREAST IMPLANT WAS FOUND TO BE RUPTURED AND RECEIVED IN TWO (2) PARTS. ADDITIONALLY, SHELL ABRASION WAS OBSERVED ON THE EDGES OF THE RUPTURE. THE EVALUATION DETERMINED THAT THE POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE RUPTURE WAS CONSISTENT WITH NORMAL WEAR. SHELL ABRASION SUGGESTS IN-VIVO FOLDING OR CREASING OF THE DEVICE. THIS MAY BE THE RESULT OF THE FOLLOWING FACTORS: CONTINUOUS AND SUSTAINED STRESSES TO THE DEVICE SUCH AS TOO SMALL BREAST POCKET AND FOLDING OR WRINKLING OF THE SHELL IN THE BREAST POCKET. IN SOME CASES, THE BREAST IMPLANTS MAY ALSO WEAR OUT OVER TIME. A SECOND PRODUCT WAS RECEIVED (6871978-056). NO ADVERSE EVENTS WERE REPORTED FOR THIS CONCOMITANT (CONTRALATERAL) DEVICE, THEREFORE NO FURTHER ANALYSIS IS REQUIRED. AS PART OF MENTOR¿S QUALITY PROCESS, ALL DEVICES ARE MANUFACTURED, INSPECTED, AND RELEASED TO APPROVED SPECIFICATIONS. NO CORRECTIVE AND PREVENTIVE ACTION (CAPA) IS REQUIRED NOW.

    SECTION D 6B. EXPLANTATION DATE: (B)(6) 2024. 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. MANUFACTURER¿S REFERENCE NUMBER: (B)(4).
