On may 21, 2024, mentor received the device for evaluation.On may 28, 2024, mentor completed a visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Device evaluation summary: visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant had an area of shell abrasion on the posterior view.Leak testing was performed, according to mentor procedure, and it identified a tear within the shell abrasion measuring approximately 0.1 cm.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the deflation is consistent with normal wear.Shell abrasion suggests in-vivo folding or creasing of the device.This may be the result of the continuous and sustained stresses on the device.A manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was performed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
