Suspect device received on october 03, 2023 device evaluation completed on october 04 , 2023: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the spec smooth rnd 475cc breast implant had a crease/fold on the anterior view.Leak testing was performed, according to mentor procedure, and it identified a tear within a crease/fold measuring approximately 0.1 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 a deflation in a later time.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
