On (b)(6) 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted dimensional, weight measurement and leak testing of the returned device.Dimensional and weight measurements of the returned sample revealed that the smo ro high pro boost gel775cc breast implant was within manufacturing specifications.Additionally, wrinkles/creases were observed on the shell of the device.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and no areas of gel exposure were detected during the analysis.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformances were identified.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the wrinkles/creases, the instructions for use contain the following caution: avoid creating wrinkles or folds in the device during the implantation or other procedures (e.G., revision surgery).A typical practice is to run your finger around the implant before closing to ensure the implant is lying flat and has no folds or wrinkles.Submuscular placement of the device makes the inspection for wrinkles or folds more difficult.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
