On mar 21, 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the siltex hpg, 375cc breast implant was found to have a tear at the junction between the shell and patch.A microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the tear could not be identified.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformances related to the issue reported were identified.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture can occur after implantation but is more likely to occur the more prolonged the implant is implanted.The following may cause the implant to rupture: stressing the implant during implantation and weakening it; folding or wrinkling of the implant shell; excessive force to the chest (e.G.During closed capsulotomy); trauma; compression during mammographic imaging; and severe capsular contracture.Breast implants may also wear out over time.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
