On november 24, 2020, mentor completed evaluation of the device.Device evaluation summary: during the visual evaluation, an anomaly was observed on the anterior view of the device consistent with a crease/fold.A tear was also observed within the crease/fold, measuring approximately 0.3 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.A second product was received (product code 3501410 and lot number 5949064).No adverse events were reported for this concomitant (contralateral) device, therefore no further analysis is required.Each device is visually inspected during manufacturing to ensure the device meets the required specifications prior to shipment.Deflation complaint information is consistently analyzed and monitored by mentor quality assurance to determine when further action is necessary.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
