On october 23, 2025, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On october 30, 2025, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection, leak testing and microscopic examination 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.In addition, no more leak sites were found.Microscopic examination was performed, and striations were not found on the tear.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 the product met the manufacturing release criteria, and that normal wear may have caused the observed defect.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.
