On december 15, 2025, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On december 22, 2025, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Device evaluation: mentor conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was found to be ruptured.A microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the tear could not be identified.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following things may cause the implant to rupture: damage by surgical instruments; stressing the implant during implantation and weakening it; folding or wrinkling of the implant shell; excessive force to the chest (e.G.During closed capsulotomy); trauma; compression during mammographic imaging; and severe capsular contracture.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
