Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor then conducted a visual inspection, microscopic examination, and thickness measurement of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sal smooth rnd diap 125cc breast implant was found to have a tear on the anterior view extending to the posterior view, measuring approximately 4.8 cm.Microscopic examination was performed and the cause of the deflation could not be identified.Therefore a thickness measurement was conducted on the shell at the tear, and the thickness was within manufacturing specifications.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the deflation is the trauma experienced.Deflation can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Trauma is a known inherent risk of saline-filled mammary prosthesis.Most women undergoing augmentation or reconstruction with a mammary prosthesis will experience some pain postoperatively.While pain normally subsides in most women as they heal from surgery, it can become a chronic problem in other women.Chronic pain can be associated with a variety of factors.Surgeons should instruct their patients to inform them if there is significant pain or if the pain persists.Pain is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
