Device evaluation summary: during visual evaluation, an anomaly was observed on the device consistent with a crease/fold in the posterior aspect and extending to the anterior view.A tear was also observed within the crease/fold in the posterior view, measuring approximately 0.5 cm.The evaluation determined that the loss of shell integrity is consistent with a crease fold deflation of the implant shell, which is a known inherent risk of saline-filled mammary prosthesis.Deflation can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Creating wrinkles or folds should be avoided during implantation or other procedures as it can result in a deflation at a later time.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.As part of our quality process, the manufacturing records of this lot-serial number were reviewed and the manufacturing standards were met prior to the release of this lot.Each device is visually inspected during manufacturing to ensure the device meets the required specifications prior to shipment.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
