Device evaluation summary: during visual evaluation, an anomaly on posterior view was observed on the device consistent with a crease/fold.A tear measuring approximately 0.2 cm was also observed within the crease/fold.It is possible the deflation was caused by the stress occasioned to the shell by the capsular contracture.Mentor concluded that the capsular contracture in the patient´s breast was the result of the body´s individual physiological response to the implantation of a foreign object in soft tissue.Capsular contracture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.Each device is visually inspected during manufacturing to ensure the device meets the required specifications prior to shipment.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
