On august 13, 2025, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On august 25, 2025, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Device evaluation: mentor conducted a visual inspection of the device.During visual evaluation no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the 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.Implant displacement/migration may occur from improper implant sizing and/or placement, i.E., when the implant is too large or the pocket too small or when there has been inadequate preoperative assessment of stresses causing movement of the prosthesis.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
