On 27-apr-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 mammogram.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 no damage or anomalies were observed on the breast implant.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and a tear was observed on the posterior view, measuring approximately 0.8 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.It should be noted that as part of the 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).
