On feb 4, 2026, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant had two (2) tears, measuring approximately 0.6 cm tear (a) on the posterior view and 0.7 cm tear (b) on the anterior view.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and no additional leak sites were detected during the analysis.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
