On 06/22/18, it was reported to mentor that the device history record (dhr) of lot number 79308 reviewed and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the dhr review verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On 07/06/18, it was reported to mentor that the device evaluation and investigation have been completed.Upon receipt to mentor, the device contained no fluid.Yellow material was observed within the device and on the shell surface.Visual evaluation of the device revealed an area of siltex cracking on the posterior view.Leak testing was performed in accordance with mentor procedures and revealed one leakage site; a rent measuring less than 0.1 cm discovered within the siltex cracking on the posterior view.No other anomalies were found.Because mentor performs 100% inspection and testing of all devices prior to release, product evaluation team concluded that the rent and siltex cracking occurred sometime subsequent to the removal of the device from its protective packaging.The complaint of deflation was confirmed since a rent was found on the device.However, at this point it is not possible to determine the root cause of such damage or the origin of the yellow material observed.Because mentor performs 100% inspection and testing of all devices prior to release, product evaluation team concluded that the rent and siltex cracking occurred sometime subsequent to the removal of the device from its protective packaging.Siltex cracking is defined as a material separation occurring in the siltex layer and can eventually progress through the shell of siltex saline-filled devices.Mentor believes that siltex cracking is ultimately a result of high stresses caused by acute folds (i.E., severe ¿v¿ or tight folds) in the rtv shell of siltex saline mammaries.The severity level for this complaint code was determined to be a s3, which is defined as: necessitates intrusive medical or surgical intervention.No corrective action is required since there is no evidence that the failures modes are related with manufacturing or product design.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
