On 10/31/2019, during evaluation of the sample it appeared intact.Leak testing revealed a tear within a crease on the posterior view; the tear measured approximately less than 0.1 cm.No other anomalies were observed.These kind of findings are consistent with a crease/fold failure which is a known inherent risk associated with the use of saline-filled mammary prostheses and may be the result of one or more of the following contributing factors: underinflation or overinflation of the device, continuous and sustained stresses to the device - such as or too small a breast pocket and folding or wrinkling of the shell in the breast pocket.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.Complaint information will be included in complaint trending that is reviewed and monitor by quality assurance on a regular basis to determine if further action is necessary.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
