Device evaluation completed on march 16 , 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 sx mod classic gel, 300cc breast implant had an area of siltex cracking on the posterior view.In addition, a tear was noted within the siltex cracking measuring approximately 3.6 cm.A microscopic examination was performed and instrument damage was not found on the area of the tear.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture 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).
