Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On november 21, 2025, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.The patient's date of birth and identifier were also provided and have been populated accordingly.On november 21, 2025, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was ruptured.In addition, parallel lines of shell wear were observed at the edge of the rupture.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Shell wear suggests in-vivo folding or creasing of the device.This may be the result of the following factors: continuous and sustained stresses to the device such as too small breast pocket and folding or wrinkling of the shell in the breast pocket.In some cases, the breast implants may also wear out over time.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.
