On october 18, 2022, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.An updated date of event was also received.On october 25, 2022, mentor completed evaluation of the device.Device evaluation summary: 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 the sm hps dv 230cc breast implant had a crease/fold on the anterior view.Leak testing was performed, according to the mentor procedure, and it identified a tear within the crease/fold measuring approximately 0.1 cm.The evaluation determined that the cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Deflation can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Creating wrinkles or folds should be avoided during implantation or other procedures as it can result in deflation at a later time.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
