Device evaluation completed on may 17, 2024: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.During visual evaluation no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the sal siltex rnd diap pkg 275cc returned device.Leak testing was performed, according with mentor procedure, and it revealed a tear within an area of siltex cracking on the posterior view, measuring approximately 0.4 cm.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the deflation is consistent with normal wear.Siltex cracking is defined as a material separation occurring in the siltex layer and can eventually progress through the shell of siltex devices.Siltex cracking is ultimately a result of high stresses.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
