    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    ON DECEMBER 27, 2025, THE MENTOR FAILURE ANALYSIS LAB HAS RECEIVED THE DEVICE FOR EVALUATION. THE IMPACTED DEVICE WAS DETERMINED TO BE A 325CC MENTOR MEMORYGEL BREAST IMPLANT WITH LOT NUMBER 5854338. 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. D4: UDI: AS THE SERIAL NUMBER FOR THE DEVICE INVOLVED IN THE EVENT WAS NOT PROVIDED, THE FULL UDI IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. ON JANUARY 07, 2026, THE EVALUATION FOR THE DEVICE WAS COMPLETED. DEVICE EVALUATION SUMMARY: VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED DEVICE REVEALED THAT THE BREAST IMPLANT WAS FOUND TO BE RUPTURED. 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 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 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. THE CONTRALATERAL DEVICE WAS ALSO RECEIVED (LOT NUMBER 5854597). THE PATIENT DID NOT REPORT ANY ISSUE WITH THIS DEVICE. THEREFORE, NO FURTHER ANALYSIS OF THE CONTRALATERAL DEVICE IS REQUIRED. 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. ADDITIONAL COMPLAINT INFORMATION MONITORING FOR POTENTIAL SAFETY SIGNALS IS CONDUCTED THROUGH COMPLAINT TRENDING AS PART OF POST MARKET SURVEILLANCE. 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. SINCE NO LOT NUMBER WAS PROVIDED, NO MANUFACTURING RECORD EVALUATION COULD BE PERFORMED. REASON FOR DEVICE EXPLANT AND/OR REOPERATION: RUPTURE. D4: UDI: AS THE DEVICE INFORMATION WAS NOT PROVIDED, THE UDI IS NOT AVAILABLE. 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).
