On march 21, 2022, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sal siltex rnd diap pkg 200cc breast implant had a tear on the posterior view, measuring approximately 0.5 cm.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 the saline-filled mammary prosthesis.A second product was received (5543685).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.
