On march 31, 2025, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On april 07, 2025, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant had a crease/fold on the anterior view.Leak testing was performed, according to mentor procedure, and it identified a tear within the crease/fold measuring approximately 0.1 cm.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Deflation can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Creating wrinkles or folds should be avoided during implantation or other procedures as it can result in a deflation in a later time.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.At the present time, there is no sufficient evidence to show an association between breast implants and generalized illness (assessing the risks of breast implants and fda¿s vision for the national breast implant registry).Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
