On january 28, 2025, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On january 31, 2025, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the device.During visual evaluation, no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the breast implant 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.A breast cyst is a fluid-filled sac within the breast.One breast can have one or more breast cysts.They are often described as round or oval lumps with distinct edges.Breast cysts usually and typically do not require treatment, but they can be drained using fine needle aspiration if the cyst is large or uncomfortable.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
