Device evaluation summary upon receipt by mentor, the device contained no fluid.No foreign material was observed within the device.Yellow material was observed on the shell surface.During visual examination, mentor product analysis lab observed the device appears intact.Leak testing was performed in accordance with mentor procedures, and one leak was found on the posterior view of the device.The leak was caused by a rent measuring approximately 0.1 cm in length.Microscopic examination of the rent edges gave no indication as to its cause.No other anomalies were found.Mentor products are 100% visually inspected prior to release in addition to thorough in-process testing during several stages of the manufacturing process.Mentor product analysis lab concluded that the rent 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.Nonetheless, a microscopic examination of the rent edges was performed, and it did not provide conclusive evidence of what could be the root cause.Furthermore, at this point it is also not possible to determine the origin of the yellow material observed.All the implants are 100% inspected before leaving the facility.There is no evidence that the issue is related with manufacturing breast implants are not considered lifetime devices and deflation is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our product insert data sheet.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
