    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    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. SINCE NO LOT NUMBER WAS PROVIDED, NO MANUFACTURING RECORD EVALUATION COULD BE PERFORMED. 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. D4: UDI: AS THE CATALOG/MODEL NUMBER WAS NOT PROVIDED, THE (01)GTIN IS NOT AVAILABLE.

    ON NOV 21, 2025, THE MENTOR FAILURE ANALYSIS LAB RECEIVED THE DEVICE FOR EVALUATION. THE IMPACTED PRODUCT WAS IDENTIFIED AS A MENTOR MEMORYGEL BREAST IMPLANT, CATALOG NUMBER 3502751BC, LOT NUMBER 5945554. 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. DEVICE EVALUATION SUMMARY: THE PRODUCT WAS RETURNED TO MENTOR FOR EVALUATION. MENTOR CONDUCTED A VISUAL INSPECTION, LEAK TESTING, MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION, AND THICKNESS MEASUREMENT OF THE RETURNED DEVICE. VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED DEVICE REVEALED THAT NO DAMAGE OR ANOMALIES WERE OBSERVED ON THE BREAST IMPLANT. LEAK TESTING WAS PERFORMED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH MENTOR PROCEDURES, AND A TEAR WAS NOTED ON THE POSTERIOR VIEW MEASURING APPROXIMATELY 0.9 CM. MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION WAS PERFORMED, AND THE CAUSE OF THE TEAR COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED. THEREFORE A THICKNESS MEASUREMENT WAS CONDUCTED ON THE SHELL AT THE TEAR, AND THE THICKNESS WAS WITHIN MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATIONS. MENTOR ALSO PERFORMED A MANUFACTURING RECORD EVALUATION RELATED TO THE REPORTED COMPLAINT FOR THE FINISHED DEVICE LOT NUMBER. NO MANUFACTURING NON-CONFORMANCES WERE IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THIS EVALUATION. ALTHOUGH NO CONCLUSION COULD BE REACH 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 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 ACCORDING TO APPROVED SPECIFICATIONS. BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THIS INVESTIGATION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PRODUCT MET THE MANUFACTURING RELEASE CRITERIA. MANUFACTURER¿S REFERENCE NUMBER: (B)(4).
