Additional information was received on (b)(6) 2024.The device, previously unknown, is a mentor smooth round moderate plus profile 600cc saline prosthesis, lot #6511638, serial #6(b)(6).A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device 6511638 number, and no non-conformances were identified.D4: udi: (01)gtin unavailable, product made prior to gtin compliance date.The impacted product was received by the failure analysis lab on (b)(6), 2024.The investigation of the returned device was completed by the failure analysis lab on october 23, 2024.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant had a crease/fold on the anterior view.In addition, a tear was found within the crease/fold measuring approximately 0.1 cm.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Deflation can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Creating wrinkles or folds should be avoided during implantation or other procedures as it can result in a deflation in a later time.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.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).
