The impacted product was received by the failure analysis lab on september 4, 2024.The explant date was clarified to be july 15, 2024.The investigation of the returned device was completed by the failure analysis lab on september 11, 2024.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant was found to have a fold on the anterior view.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and no areas of gel exposure were detected during the analysis.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the implants must be handled with care as an excessive force during implantation might cause the device to create wrinkles or folds (avoid creating wrinkles or folds in the device during the implantation or other procedures).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 is conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
