On april 3, 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On april 7, 2024, device evaluation was completed as follows: mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the gel mod-rnd 150cc was found to have a separated material on the posterior view, measuring approximately 2.5 cm x 3.5 cm.In addition, shell abrasion was noted on the edges of the separated material.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture was consistent with normal wear.Shell abrasion suggests in-vivo folding or creasing of the device.This may be the result of the following factors: continuous and sustained stresses to the device such as too small breast pocket and folding or wrinkling of the shell in the breast pocket.In some cases, the 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.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.This supplemental medwatch report is for the patient¿s right-sided device.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
