The investigation of the returned device was completed by the failure analysis lab on (b)(6) 2021.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation; tubing, connectors, and injection ports were not returned.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant had a crease/fold on the posterior view.Additionally, a tear was identified within the crease measuring approximately 0.1 cm.The evaluation determined that the cause of the deflation was the trauma experienced.Deflation can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Trauma is a known inherent risk of saline-filled mammary prosthesis.It should be noted that as part of mentor¿s quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
