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 REVIEW COULD BE PERFORMED. REASON FOR DEVICE EXPLANT AND/OR REOPERATION: BREAST PROSTHESIS RUPTURE.

    ON 04-FEB-2026, THE MENTOR FAILURE ANALYSIS LAB RECEIVED THE DEVICE FOR EVALUATION. MENTOR BECAME AWARE THAT THE SUSPECT MEDICAL DEVICE IS A MENTOR MEMORYGEL BREAST IMPLANT GEL BREAST PROSTHESIS, CATALOG #3507350BC, LOT #5874556, PMA #P030053. ON 11-FEB-2026, MENTOR COMPLETED ITS INVESTIGATION ON THE SUSPECT MEDICAL DEVICE. DEVICE EVALUATION SUMMARY: ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION RECEIVED, THE PATIENT EXPERIENCED A RUPTURE IN THE BREAST IMPLANT. THE PRODUCT WAS RETURNED TO MENTOR FOR EVALUATION. MENTOR CONDUCTED A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE RETURNED DEVICE. VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED DEVICE REVEALED THAT THE BREAST IMPLANT WAS FOUND TO BE RUPTURED. IN ADDITION, AN AREA OF SHELL ABRASION WAS OBSERVED AT THE EDGES OF THE RUPTURE. THESE FINDINGS ARE CONSISTENT WITH NORMAL WEAR OF THE DEVICE. SHELL ABRASION SUGGESTS IN-VIVO FOLDING OR CREASING OF THE DEVICE, WHICH MAY BE CAUSED BY CONTINUOUS AND SUSTAINED STRESSES TO THE DEVICE, SUCH AS AN EXCESSIVELY SMALL BREAST POCKET OR THE FOLDING OR WRINKLING OF THE SHELL WITHIN THE BREAST POCKET. IN SOME CASES, BREAST IMPLANTS MAY ALSO EXPERIENCE NORMAL WEAR 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, AND THAT NORMAL WEAR MAY HAVE CAUSED THE OBSERVED DEFECT. 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).
