On october 16, 2024, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On october 17, 2024, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and leak testing of the device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant had a crease/fold extended from the anterior to the posterior view.Leak testing was performed, according to the mentor procedure, and it identified a tear within the crease/fold on the posterior view, measuring approximately 0.3 cm.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the deflation was the trauma experienced.Deflation can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Trauma is a known inherent risk of saline-filled mammary prosthesis.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
