Depends on where it was added. Doing it as part of the assembly process would require having access to the pick and place software along with being able to load reels of the implant into the machine. A well placed insider may be able to make that happen, and automated optical inspections would be fed by the modified pick and place program, so checks would pass as the new component is part of the build.
