The investigation of the returned device was completed by the failure analysis lab on november 16, 2022.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor then conducted a visual inspection, leak testing, and microscopic examination of the returned device.During the visual analysis of the returned sample no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed.Leak testing was performed, according to the mentor procedures, and it revealed two tears on the anterior view, measuring approximately 0.4 cm and 0.5 cm respectively.A microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the ruptures, and parallel striations were found in the whole area of both tears.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the implant shell.Based on the information currently available, a microscopic examination of the returned product indicates that the implant could have been damaged during or after 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.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).
