Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the spec siltex contour 350cc breast implant had parallel lines of shell wear on the anterior aspect.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and a tear was observed within the shell wear, measuring approximately 0.3 cm.Additionally, no other leak sites were detected.The evaluation determined that the cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Shell wear suggests in-vivo folding or creasing of the device.This may be the result of the continuous and sustained stresses to the device.It should be noted that as part of mentor¿s quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
