Suspect device received on july 27, 2023.Device evaluation completed on aug 01 , 2023: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection, leak testing, microscopic examination, and thickness measurement of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample determined that no damage or anomalies were observed on the sm mpps dv 200cc breast implant.Leak testing was performed in accordance with mentor procedures and a tear was found on the anterior view of the sm mpps dv 200cc breast implant near the valve system, measuring approximately 0.1 cm.Microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the tear could not be identified.Therefore a thickness measurement was conducted on the shell at the tear, and the thickness was within manufacturing specifications.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: according to the product insert data sheet, the valve system can be damaged by improper use of the fill-tube stylet.Care should be taken that the stylet enters the valve smoothly.Use the thumb and forefinger to stabilize/support the valve seat and gently push the stylet tip into the valve opening.Overstressing the valve material may result in punctures or tears and subsequent deflation may occur.Use only the fill tube stylet provided with this product.Take care not to puncture the diaphragm valve or the shell with the stylet tip.Care must also be taken when the fill tube stylet is removed to prevent damage to the valve assembly.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Capa activity was not required.Per additional information received on aug 2, 2023, patient was replaced with 200cc mentor saline implants.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
