On march 29, 2023, device evaluation was completed.Device evaluation summary: mentor conducted visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the spec siltex rnd 425cc breast implant had an area of siltex cracking on the posterior view.In addition, a tear was noted within the siltex cracking measuring approximately 0.2 cm.A microscopic examination was performed and instrument damage was not found on the area of the tear.The evaluation determined that the possible 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.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Capa activity was not required.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).
