On february 12, 2024, mentor received additional information regarding the impacted device.It was reported that the impacted device was a 700cc mentor smooth round moderate profile saline breast prosthesis with lot number 5924388 and catalog number 3501697.A manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was performed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.On february 16, 2024, mentor received additional information regarding the patient's replacement device.It was reported that the patient's replacement device was a 700cc mentor smooth round moderate profile saline breast prosthesis with serial number 9481825-002.On february 26, 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.On february 28, 2024, the evaluation for the device was completed.Device evaluation summary: visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sal smooth rnd diap 700cc breast implant had a crease/fold on the posterior view.In addition, a tear was noticed within the crease/fold, measuring approximately 0.4 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.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).
