On april 22, 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.Per paperwork received with the device, mentor became aware that the date of surgery was (b)(6) 2024.Hence, following fields have been updated on this form: - is required intervention has been selected under section b; field b2 - fields d6b for explantation date have been updated to (b)(6) 2024.- field h6 health effect - impact code ¿device explantation¿ has been added reason for device explant and/or reoperation: right deflation on (b)(6) 2024, device evaluation was completed as follows: mentor conducted visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sal smooth rnd diap 700cc breast implant was found to have a tear measuring approximately 2.8 cm within a crease/fold on the posterior view.A microscopic examination was performed and no instrument damage was observed at the edges of the tear.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture is 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 a deflation in 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).
