Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was found to have a tear on the posterior view extended to the anterior view, measuring approximately 4.0 cm.In addition, an area of shell abrasion was observed at the edges of the rupture.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the deflation is consistent with normal wear.Shell abrasion suggest in-vivo folding or creasing of the device.This may be the result of the continuous and sustained stresses to the device.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.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).
