Device evaluation summary: during visual evaluation of the device, a tear measuring 17.8 cm was observed on the anterior view and extending to the posterior view.Additionally, an area of delamination with leak was noted on the posterior view.Microscopic examination was performed and the cause of the tear could not be identified.Rupture can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Each device is visually inspected during manufacturing to ensure the device meets the required specifications prior to shipment.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).
