[100006735]
This event is being reported as a malfunction of the keller funnel device because it may have contributed to the reported fracture in the internal silicone of the breast implant. Although there was no injury to the patient in this case, delivery of the breast implant to the breast pocket space could require additional medical intervention in the event that the device fracture is not noticed by the implanting physician. Information contained in this report regarding the associated allergan breast implant device will be submitted via psr. Further information from the reporter regarding event, product, or patient details has been requested. No additional information is available at this time. Device labeling: caution! Using excessive force may damage the implant. If the implant does not gently advance through the funnel into the surgical pocket, similar to the amount of force required during the sizing confirmation step, stop! Ensure the distal end is not folded, pinched, wrinkled, or overly constricted. Verify that both the incision and surgical pocket are large enough to accommodate the implant. Verify the end of the funnel is not inserted more than 1 cm, is directed toward the center of the surgical pocket, and the pathway is not obstructed by muscle tissue, or surgical instruments.
