Device evaluation completed on october 31, 2023: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor then conducted visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample determined that the sal siltex rnd diap pkg 425cc breast implant was found to have (2) two tears.Tear (a) extending from the posterior to the anterior view measuring approximately 2.0 cm and tear (b) on the anterior view measuring approximately 1.2 cm.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of both tears, and parallel striations were found in the whole area of the tears.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the implant shell.Based on the information currently available, microscopic examination of the returned product indicates that the implant could have been damaged during or subsequent to implantation.The product insert data sheet cautions to not allow cautery devices or sharp instruments, such as scalpels, suture needles, hypodermic needles, hemostats, adson forceps, or scissors to contact the device during the implantation or other surgical procedures.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Capa activity was not required.The manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was reviewed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre review verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Manufacturer¿s reference number (b)(4).
