On april 22, 2026, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On may 17, 2026, 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.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: since no malfunction was observed during the investigation.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Manufacturer¿s reference number:
(b)(4).
