On march 14, 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On march 20, 2024, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection, leak testing, and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the cpx4 plus sm te mh 650cc was found to have a tear on the anterior aspect measuring approximately 0.1 cm, tear (a).Leak testing was performed in accordance with mentor procedures, and it revealed two (2) additional tears on the anterior aspect.Tear (b) measuring approximately 0.1 cm and tear (c) measuring approximately 0.5 cm.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the punctures, and parallel striations were found in the whole area of tears (a) and (b).Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the tissue expander shell.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the tear (c), and parallel striations were found in an area of the tear, measuring approximately less than 0.1 cm.The cause in the remaining area of the tear could not be identified.Based on the information currently available, microscopic examination of the returned product indicates that the tissue expander 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.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformances were identified.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.
