On february 18, 2026, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On february 25, 2026, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Device evaluation: mentor then conducted visual inspection, leak testing, and microscopic examination of the device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that no damage or anomalies were observed on the breast implant.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and it identified a tear on the posterior view, measuring approximately 0.1 cm.In addition, no other leak sites were detected during the analysis.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the rupture, and parallel striations were found in the whole area of the tear.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the implant shell.Based on the information currently available, microscopic examination of the returned product indicates that the implant could have been damaged during or subsequent to implantation.The product insert data sheet cautions to not allow cautery devices or sharp instruments, such as scalpels, suture needles, hypodermic needles, hemostats, adson forceps or scissors to contact the device during the implantation or other surgical procedures.The malfunction identified in the returned device is not related to the malfunction associated to the nonconformance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
