Device evaluation completed on april 09, 2024.The product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor then conducted a visual inspection, leak testing, and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that no damage or anomalies were observed on the sal siltex rnd diap pkg 300cc breast implant.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and a tear was noted on the posterior view measuring approximately 0.4 cm.Microscopic examination was performed and the cause of the deflation could not be identified.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformance's were identified.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: causes of deflation of saline implants include but are not limited to the following events: crease fold failure, intraoperative or postoperative trauma, excessive stresses or manipulations as may occur during normal, daily routines including customary and purposeful trauma such as that which can occur during vigorous exercise, athletics, etc.Mentor concluded that the capsular contracture in the patient´s breast was the result of the body´s individual physiological response to the implantation of a foreign object in soft tissue.Capsular contracture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.The american society of plastic surgeons recommends and encourages member surgeons to always submit breast implants, capsule, and effusion to pathology for examination.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).
