On august 1, 2022, device evaluation was completed.Device evaluation summary: mentor conducted visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the spec siltex rnd 325cc breast implant had a tear measuring approximately 0.4 cm on the anterior view.Additionally, an area of siltex cracking was observed on the edges of the tear.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).
