On september 27, 2025, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On october 03, 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.Hematoma is a collection of blood within the space around the implant.Symptoms from hematoma may include swelling, pain, and bruising.If a hematoma occurs, it will most likely occur soon after surgery; however, it can occur at anytime, such as after an injury to the breast.Small hematomas may be absorbed by the body, while others may require surgery for drainage.Hematoma is a known complication associated with this procedure and is referenced in our product insert data sheet.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
