Two devices were received with same lot number, it cannot be determined which device is the suspect medical device for the reported rupture, since the two received products have the same engraving.Both were evaluated; one on (b)(6) 2022, and the other one on (b)(6) 2022.Both devices presented the same results as follows: mentor conducted a visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the mentor memoryshape¿ tm+ 445cc breast implant was found to have bubbles within the gel.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and no leak sites were detected during the analysis.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture status identified by mri evaluation includes both suspected ruptures, which are those ruptures identified by mri but not confirmed by explantation and examination of the device, and confirmed ruptures, which are those ruptures that are confirmed by evaluation of the explanted devices.The event described could not be confirmed as the breast implant was returned without detectable leaks.Although no product leaks were identified, there may have been other circumstances or issues that occurred during the use of the device that could not be replicated during the laboratory analysis.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 is conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
