Device evaluation completed on may 09, 2025: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that no damage or anomalies were observed on the smooth high profile xtra 700cc breast implant.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and no areas of gel exposure were detected during the analysis.Although no conclusion could be reach on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture status identified by mri evaluation includes both suspected ruptures, which are those ruptures identified by mri but not confirmed by explantation and examination of the device, and confirmed ruptures, which are those ruptures that are confirmed by evaluation of the explanted devices.The event described could not be confirmed as the breast implant was returned without detectable gel exposure.Although no product defect was identified, there may have been other circumstances or issues that occurred during the use of the device that could not be replicated during the laboratory analysis.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).
