On 09-sep-2022, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.Device evaluation summary: according to the information received, the patient experienced deflation in the breast implant.The product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor then conducted a visual inspection, leak test, and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample determined that no damage or anomalies were observed on the breast implant.Leak testing was performed in accordance with mentor procedures and a tear was found on the posterior view of the breast implant, measuring approximately less than 0.1 cm.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the rupture, and parallel striations were found in the whole area of the tear.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the implant shell.Based on the information currently available, microscopic examination of the returned product indicates that the implant could have been damaged during or subsequent to implantation.The product insert data sheet cautions to not allow cautery devices or sharp instruments, such as scalpels, suture needles, hypodermic needles, hemostats, adson forceps, or scissors to contact the device during the implantation or other surgical procedures.A second product was received (lot #6715892).No adverse events were reported for this concomitant (contralateral) device.Therefore, no further analysis is required.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).
