On february 21, 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.Per paperwork received with the device, mentor became aware that the date of explant was (b)(6) 2024.Date has been updated under field d6b accordingly.On february 23, 2024, device evaluation was completed.Device evaluation summary: mentor conducted visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the spec smooth rnd 275cc breast implant was found to have a tear on the posterior view, measuring approximately 0.1 cm.In addition, shell abrasion was noted on the edges of the rupture.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the deflation is consistent with normal wear.Shell abrasion suggests in-vivo folding or creasing of the device.This may be the result of the continuous and sustained stresses on the device.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.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).
