On (b)(6) 2022, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On (b)(6) 2022, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.Device evaluation summary: according to the information received, the patient experienced a deflation in the breast implant after a fell.The product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant had a tear on the union between shell and patch.The evaluation determined that the cause of the deflation is 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.A second product was received (lot #5529776).No adverse events were reported for this concomitant (contralateral) device.Therefore, no further analysis is required.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).
