On 09-dec-2025, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On 12-dec-2025, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.Device evaluation summary: according to the information received, the patient experienced a deflation in the breast implant.The patient tripped and fell on her right breast.The product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant had a crease/fold on the anterior view.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor's procedures.Findings revealed a tear within the crease/fold measuring 0.1 cm.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the deflation is the trauma experienced.Deflation can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Trauma is a known inherent risk of saline-filled mammary prosthesis.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: no corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
