On (b)(6) 2020, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: during the visual evaluation, anomalies were observed on both views of the device, consistent with a crease/fold.Leak testing was performed, according with mentor procedure, and it revealed a tear within the crease/fold on the posterior view, measuring less than 0.1 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 in 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).
