Device evaluation completed on may 31, 2024: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.During visual analysis of the returned sample sal siltex rnd diap pkg 200cc no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed.Leak testing was performed, according with mentor procedure, and it revealed a tear within an area of siltex cracking on the posterior view, measuring approximately 0.1 cm.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the deflation is consistent with normal wear.Siltex cracking is defined as a material separation occurring in the siltex layer and can eventually progress through the shell of siltex devices.Siltex cracking is ultimately a result of high stresses.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.The manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was reviewed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre review verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
