    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    SUSPECT DEVICE RECEIVED ON FEBRUARY 05, 2026. DEVICE EVALUATION COMPLETED ON FEBRUARY 012, 2026: THE PRODUCT WAS RETURNED TO MENTOR FOR EVALUATION. MENTOR CONDUCTED A VISUAL INSPECTION, MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION, AND SHELL THICKNESS OF THE RETURNED DEVICE. VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED DEVICE REVEALED THAT THE BREAST IMPLANT WAS FOUND TO BE RUPTURED AND RECEIVED IN THREE (3) PARTS. 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-CONFORMANCE'S WERE IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THIS EVALUATION. 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 IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR THE LONGER THE IMPLANT IS IMPLANTED. THE FOLLOWING MAY CAUSE IMPLANT TO RUPTURE: 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. MOST WOMEN UNDERGOING AUGMENTATION OR RECONSTRUCTION WITH A MAMMARY PROSTHESIS WILL EXPERIENCE SOME PAIN POSTOPERATIVELY. WHILE PAIN NORMALLY SUBSIDES IN MOST WOMEN AS THEY HEAL FROM SURGERY, IT CAN BECOME A CHRONIC PROBLEM IN OTHER WOMEN. CHRONIC PAIN CAN BE ASSOCIATED WITH A VARIETY OF FACTORS. SURGEONS SHOULD INSTRUCT THEIR PATIENTS TO INFORM THEM IF THERE IS SIGNIFICANT PAIN OR IF PAIN PERSISTS. PAIN IS A KNOWN COMPLICATION ASSOCIATED WITH THESE DEVICES AND IS REFERENCED IN OUR CURRENT PRODUCT INSERT DATA SHEET. 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: NO CORRECTIVE AND PREVENTIVE ACTION (CAPA) IS REQUIRED NOW. 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: BREAST PAIN, SYMPTOMATIC RUPTURE, PTOSIS. 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).
