On february 10, 2025, the mentor failure analysis lab received two devices for evaluation.The devices had lot numbers 9659876 and 9639104, but it was not specified which breast side they belong to.Follow-ups are in progress but for now, lot 9659876 was assigned to the right breast and lot 9639104 was assigned to the left breast.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device 9659876 number, and no non-conformances were identified.Manufacturing date: nov/11/2021.Expiration date: nov/10/2026.On february 10, 2025, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.During visual evaluation, no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the smooth uhp 320cc returned device.Regarding the reported capsular contracture condition, there are not enough details to determine the factors that may have caused this condition.Capsular contracture in the patient¿s breast might be the result of the body¿s individual physiological response to the implantation of a foreign object in soft tissue.Further, capsular contracture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.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: since no malfunction was observed during the investigation.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.
