On may 19, 2022, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On may 25, 2022, device evaluation was completed.Device evaluation summary: mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sal siltex rnd diap pkg 200cc breast implant had an area of siltex cracking on the posterior view.In addition, a tear was revealed within the siltex cracking, measuring approximately 0.7 cm.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and no additional leak sites were detected during the analysis.The evaluation determined that the cause of the deflation is consistent with normal wear.Siltex cracking is defined as a material separation occurring in the siltex layer and can eventually progress through the shell of siltex devices.Siltex cracking is ultimately a result of high stresses.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.This supplemental medwatch report is for the patient¿s right-sided device.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
