Device evaluation completed on october 15, 2024: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor then conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample, determined that the gel mod-rnd 600cc was found ruptured.In addition, shell abrasion was observed at the edges of the rupture.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Shell abrasion suggests in-vivo folding or creasing of the device.This may be the result of the following factors: continuous and sustained stresses to the device such as too small breast pocket and folding or wrinkling of the shell in the breast pocket.In some cases, the breast implants may also wear out over time.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
