On february 16, 2022, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection and leak test of the returned device and material evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sx mpp gel 225cc breast implant had an area of siltex cracking on the posterior view.Also, yellow material was observed within the shell.Leak testing was performed, according with mentor procedure, and it revealed a tear within the siltex cracking, measuring approximately 0.1 cm.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformances were identified.Additional analysis was performed to identify the composition of the material and it revealed they were primarily composed of primarily composed of a biological-based material, with residues of pdms material (presumably derivate from the implant material since the particle was embedded).The mentor microbiology department provided the sterility assurance records of the implanted device.The lot met all the sterilization parameters required to provide sterility assurance prior to release for distribution.It should be noted that as part of mentor¿s quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.
