On 12-oct-2023, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On 17-oct-2023, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.Device evaluation summary: according to the information received, the patient experienced a deflation in the breast implant.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 breast implant had a crease/fold on the anterior view extending to the posterior view.Leak testing was performed, according to mentor procedure, and it identified a tear on the posterior view within the crease/fold measuring less than 0.1 cm.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture was 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.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
