On march 17, 2020, mentor completed evaluation of the device.Device evaluation summary: during visual inspection of the device, a crease was noted on the posterior aspect.Additionally, a tear was observed within the crease measuring approximately 0.2 cm.The evaluation determined that the rupture is consistent with a crease fold rupture.These kind of findings are consistent with a crease/fold failure which is a known inherent risk associated with the use of gel-filled mammary prostheses and may be the result of one or more of the following contributing factors: continuous and sustained stresses to the device - such as too small a breast pocket and folding or wrinkling of the shell in the breast pocket.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.(b)(4).
