Suspect device received on april 17, 2023.Device evaluation completed on april 14 , 2023.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 sal siltex rnd diap pkg 250cc breast implant had an area of siltex cracking on the posterior view.Leak testing was performed, according to the mentor procedure, and it revealed a tear within the siltex cracking, measuring approximately 0.2 cm.The evaluation determined that the 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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
