On october 20, 2025, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On november 10, 2025, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Device evaluation: 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 posterior view.Leak testing was performed, according to mentor procedure, and it identified a tear within the crease/fold measuring approximately 0.2 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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
