    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE DEVICE WITH LOT NUMBER 1193613 RELATED TO THE REPORTED EVENT OF DEFLATION WAS RECEIVED ON 17/JUL/2017. VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED DEVICE IDENTIFIED: CREASE FOLD, WEAR ABRASION, AND OPENING. LEAK TEST WAS PERFORMED AND FOUND OPENING ON THE POSTERIOR PORTION OF THE IMPLANT. A MICROSCOPIC ANALYSIS WAS PERFORMED WHICH IDENTIFIED CREASE SMOOTH OPENING ON THE POSTERIOR SIDE. THE FILL TEST INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED; THE RESULT IS NO BLOCKAGE. BASED ON THE DEVICE ANALYSIS THE FINAL ASSESSMENT IS: A CREASE SMOOTH OPENING ON THE POSTERIOR PORTION OF THE IMPLANT DUE TO A FOLD FLAW OPENING. A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD HAS BEEN INITIATED. IF ANY NEW, CHANGED OR CORRECTED INFORMATION IS NOTED, A SUPPLEMENTAL MEDWATCH WILL BE SUBMITTED. FURTHER INFORMATION FROM THE REPORTER REGARDING EVENT, PRODUCT, OR PATIENT DETAILS HAS BEEN REQUESTED. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. DEVICE LABELING: POTENTIAL ADVERSE EVENTS THAT MAY OCCUR WITH SALINE-FILLED BREAST IMPLANT SURGERY INCLUDE: REOPERATION, PAIN, WRINKLING, ASYMMETRY, IMPLANT PALPABILITY/VISIBILITY, IMPLANT REMOVAL, CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE, CHANGES IN NIPPLE AND BREAST SENSATION, IMPLANT DISPLACEMENT/MIGRATION, IMPLANT DEFLATION, SCARRING, INFECTION, HEMATOMA/SEROMA, BREASTFEEDING COMPLICATIONS, IMPLANT EXTRUSION, NECROSIS, DELAYED WOUND HEALING, BREAST TISSUE ATROPHY/CHEST WALL DEFORMITY, CALCIUM DEPOSITS, AND LYMPHADENOPATHY. DEFLATION ¿ BREAST IMPLANTS ARE NOT LIFETIME DEVICES. SALINE BREAST IMPLANTS DEFLATE WHEN THE SHELL DEVELOPS A TEAR OR HOLE. DEFLATION CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME AFTER IMPLANTATION, BUT THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR THE LONGER THE IMPLANT IS IMPLANTED. THE FOLLOWING THINGS MAY CAUSE IMPLANTS TO DEFLATE: DAMAGE BY SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS; FOLDING OR WRINKLING OF THE IMPLANT SHELL; EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE CHEST (E.G., DURING CLOSED CAPSULOTOMY, WHICH IS CONTRAINDICATED); TRAUMA; COMPRESSION DURING MAMMOGRAPHIC IMAGING; AND SEVERE CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE. BREAST IMPLANTS MAY ALSO SIMPLY WEAR OUT OVER TIME. LABORATORY STUDIES HAVE IDENTIFIED SOME OF THE CAUSES OF DEFLATION FOR ALLERGAN¿S PRODUCT; HOWEVER, IT IS NOT CONCLUSIVELY KNOWN WHETHER THESE TESTS HAVE IDENTIFIED ALL CAUSES OF DEFLATION.
