Device evaluation completed on aug 18, 2023: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sal smooth rnd diap 125cc breast implant had a crease/fold on the anterior view.Leak testing was performed, according to the mentor procedure, and it identified a tear within the crease/fold measuring approximately 0.3 cm.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Deflation can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Creating wrinkles or folds should be avoided during implantation or other procedures as it can result in deflation at a later time.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.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).
