    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    ON AUGUST 14, 2024, THE MENTOR FAILURE ANALYSIS LAB RECEIVED THE DEVICE FOR EVALUATION. ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2024, DEVICE EVALUATION WAS COMPLETED AS FOLLOWS: MENTOR CONDUCTED A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE RETURNED DEVICE. VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED SAMPLE REVEALED THAT THE SMOOTH HPG, 450CC BREAST IMPLANT WAS FOUND TO BE RUPTURED WITHIN THE SHELL ABRASION. ALSO, THE DEVICE WAS RECEIVED IN THREE (3) PIECES. THE EVALUATION DETERMINED THAT THE POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE RUPTURE IS 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 (241447). 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. 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. ADDITIONAL COMPLAINT INFORMATION MONITORING FOR POTENTIAL SAFETY SIGNALS IS CONDUCTED THROUGH COMPLAINT TRENDING AS PART OF POST MARKET SURVEILLANCE. COMPLETE UDI NUMBER HAS BEEN ADDED UNDER FIELD D4 ON THIS FORM. MANUFACTURER¿S REFERENCE NUMBER: (B)(4).
