Device evaluation completed on july 02, 2024: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sx mod classic gel, 300cc breast implant had a tear measuring approximately 1.7 cm on the posterior view.Additionally, an area of siltex cracking was observed on the edges of the tear.A microscopic examination was performed and no instrument damage was observed at the edges of the tear.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.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
