The investigation of the returned device was completed by the failure analysis lab on march 28, 2025.Device evaluation: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant had an area of shell abrasion on the anterior view.Leak testing was performed, according to mentor procedure, and it identified a tear within the shell abrasion measuring approximately 0.1 cm.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the deflation is consistent with normal wear.Shell abrasion suggest in-vivo folding or creasing of the device.This may be the result of the continuous and sustained stresses to the device.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 normal wear may have caused the observed defect.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
