On march 30, 2023, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On april 18, 2023, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection, leak testing, and microscopic examination of the returned tissue expander.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that no damage or anomalies were observed on the cpx4 plus sm te mh 275cc tissue expander.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and a tear was noted on the anterior aspect measuring approximately 0.1 cm.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the rupture, and parallel striations were found in the whole area of the tear.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the tissue expander.Based on the information currently available, a microscopic examination of the returned product indicates that the tissue expander could have been damaged during or subsequent to 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.Capa activity was not required.
