Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On january 16, 2026, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.Paperwork received with the device provided a patient identifier.Patient identifier: (b)(6).On february 03, 2026, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Device evaluation: mentor conducted visual inspection of the device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was found to have two areas of shell abrasion on the posterior view.In addition, two tears (a and b) were observed, tear a within one area of shell abrasion measuring approximately 5.1 cm and the tear b within the other area of shell abrasion measuring approximately 3.9 cm.These findings are consistent with normal wear of the device.Shell abrasion suggests in-vivo folding or creasing of the device, which may be caused by continuous and sustained stresses to the device, such as an excessively small breast pocket or the folding or wrinkling of the shell within the breast pocket.In some cases, breast implants may also experience normal wear over time.Manufacturer's reference number: (b)(4).
