On 01/07/2019, the device history record (dhr) was 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.On 01/09/2019, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.Device evaluation summary: upon receipt by mentor, the gel contained in the device appears cloudy.Red material was observed within the device.Gel was observed on the shell surface.Mentor product analysis lab discovered a rent measuring approximately 0.3 cm on the posterior aspect.No other anomalies were discovered.Because the authorization for return and examination of medical device form was not signed and/or returned to mentor, mentor product analysis lab was precluded from further evaluating the device.The complaint was confirmed since a rupture was found on the device.However, at this point it is not possible to determine the root cause of such damage or the etiology of the red material found on the device.There is no evidence that the issue is related with manufacturing.Rupture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our product insert data sheet.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
