On october 22, 2021, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On october 25, 2021, mentor completed evaluation of the device.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sal siltex rnd diap pkg 150cc breast implant had an area of siltex cracking on the posterior view.In addition, a tear was identified within the siltex cracking area with a length of 0.8 cm.The evaluation determined that the cause of the deflation was consistent with normal wear.Siltex cracking is defined as a material separation occurring in the siltex layer and can eventually progress through the shell of siltex devices.Siltex cracking is ultimately a result of high stress.It should be noted that as part of mentor¿s quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
