Device evaluation completed on february 24, 2025: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor then conducted visual inspection, leak testing, and microscopic examination of the returned device.During the visual analysis of the returned sample sm mpps dv 650cc no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed.Leak testing was performed, according to the mentor procedure, and it revealed a tear on the posterior view, measuring approximately 0.1 cm.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the rupture, and parallel striations were found in the whole area of the tear.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the implant shell.Based on the information currently available, microscopic examination of the returned product indicates that the implant could have been damaged during or subsequent to implantation.The product insert data sheet cautions to not allow cautery devices or sharp instruments, such as scalpels, suture needles, hypodermic needles, hemostats, adson forceps or scissors to contact the device during the implantation or other surgical procedures.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: no corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
