On 22-nov-2021, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On 01-dec-2021, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.Device evaluation summary: according to the information received, the patient experienced deflation in the breast implant.The product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant had an area of siltex cracking on the posterior view.In addition, a tear was noted within the siltex cracking, measuring approximately 1.0cm.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).
