The impacted product was received by the failure analysis lab on june 28, 2024.The investigation of the returned device was completed by the failure analysis lab on july 3, 2024.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.During visual evaluation no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the returned device.Leak testing was performed, according with mentor procedures, and it revealed a tear within an area of siltex cracking on the anterior view measuring approximately 0.2 cm.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture 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.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).
