Device evaluation completed on february 25, 2025: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.During the visual evaluation, no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the smooth mod high boost, 400 cc 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.The american society of plastic surgeons recommends and encourages member surgeons to always submit breast implants, capsule, and effusion to pathology for examination.A skin reaction is a noticeable change in the texture and/ or color of the skin.This can include bumps, scales, pustules or redness that can be inflamed, irritated, painful, or itchy.This can be due to a variety of factors such as infections, heat, allergens or immune system disorders.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
