On august 25, 2025, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On september 12, 2025, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Device evaluation: mentor conducted visual inspection of the device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed a crease/fold on the posterior view.In addition, a tear was found 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.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
