Additional information received on december 20, 2022 indicated that the suspect device identity as follow: cat#:3501610, lot#: 7531428 suspect device received on january 03, 2022 device evaluation completed on january 06 , 2022: according to the information received, the patient experienced deflation in the sal smooth rnd diap 125cc.The product was returned to the mentor for evaluation.The mentor conducted a visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sal smooth rnd diap 125cc 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 0.2 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.The manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was reviewed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre review verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
