On 7/25/2019, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.On 8/1/2019, the analysis results showed a tear at the union between patch and shell of the implant.Additionally, leak testing revealed a second tear noted in the posterior aspect and measuring approximately 1.5 cm.Microscopic examination of the edges of both ruptures revealed parallel striations on one of the tears.No other anomalies were observed.The striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp instrument perforating silicone material.As stated in the product insert data sheet, do 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 as this can result in rupture.The manufacturing records were reviewed, and the manufacturing criteria were met prior to the release of this lot.It should be noted that as part of our quality process, each device is visually inspected during manufacturing to ensure the device meets the required specifications prior to shipment.Based on the information reported and/or the product investigation, there is no evidence that the issue is related with the manufacturing process.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
