On august 16, 2023, mentor received the device for evaluation.On august 17, 2023, mentor completed a visual inspection of the returned device.Device evaluation summary: visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant was found to have an area of delamination at the union between the patch and shell, causing gel leakage.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device batch number, and no non-conformances were identified.Although potential causes of patch delamination are unknown, stresses and forces on the implant in-vivo or exposure to betadine at insertion could result in delamination and ruptures.Per the current product insert data sheet (pids), rupture is a known complication associated with these devices and can occur at any time during or after implantation.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
