Device evaluation summary: during visual evaluation of the sample, a tear measuring approximately 1.5 cm within a siltex cracking area was observed on the posterior view.In addition, parallel lines of shell wear were observed on the anterior view.Siltex cracking is defined as a material separation occurring in the siltex layer and can eventually progress through the shell of siltex devices resulting in a tear at a later date.A manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was performed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.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.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
