Device evaluation completed on june 22, 2025: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the spec smooth rnd 325cc breast implant was found to have a tear on the posterior view measuring approximately 0.2 cm.In addition, a crease/fold was observed on the edges of the tear.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture found was 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 deflation at a later time.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.The contralateral device was also received (lot number 5765303).The patient did not report any issue with this device.Therefore, no further analysis of the contralateral device is required.As part of mentor's quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released according to approved specifications.Based on the results of this investigation, it was determined that the product met the manufacturing release criteria and that normal wear may have caused the observed defect.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.The manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was reviewed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre review verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
