Device evaluation completed on (b)(6) 2023: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the siltex mod+prof xtra 325cc breast implant was found to have a tear on the anterior view, measuring approximately 5.5 cm microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the tear could not be identified.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: it is possible to damage the implant during insertion.Ensure that excessive force is not applied to a very small area of the shell during the insertion of the device through the incision.Instead, apply force over as large an area of the implant as possible.Avoid pushing the device into place with one or two fingers in a localized area, as this may create an area of weakness on the shell.In addition, an incision should be of appropriate length to accommodate the style, size, and profile of the implant.This will reduce the potential for creating excessive stress to the implant during insertion and will avoid the risk of damage to the implant.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Capa activity was not required.Updated photo evaluation completed on (b)(6) 2023: upon visual evaluation of the image provided in the complaint, the implant was observed ruptured.As part of mentor¿s quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.According to the information received, the customer reported that the siltex mod+prof xtra 325cc breast implant ruptured during surgery.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the siltex mod+prof xtra 325cc breast implant was found to have a tear on the anterior view, measuring approximately 5.5 cm microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the tear could not be identified.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: it is possible to damage the implant during insertion.Ensure that excessive force is not applied to a very small area of the shell during the insertion of the device through the incision.Instead, apply force over as large an area of the implant as possible.Avoid pushing the device into place with one or two fingers in a localized area, as this may create an area of weakness on the shell.In addition, an incision should be of appropriate length to accommodate the style, size, and profile of the implant.This will reduce the potential for creating excessive stress to the implant during insertion and will avoid the risk of damage to the implant.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Capa activity was not required.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
