On 5/4/2021, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.On 5/9/2021, mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that no damage or anomalies were observed on the con pro 350ccbreast implant.Leak testing was performed, according with mentor procedure, and it revealed a tear within an area of siltex cracking on the posterior view, measuring approximately 0.3 cm.The evaluation determined that the cause of the deflation is 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 stresses.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).
