    ON JUNE 30, 2023, THE MENTOR ANALYSIS LAB RECEIVED THE SUSPECT MEDICAL DEVICE FOR EVALUATION. ON JULY 04, 2023, MENTOR COMPLETED AN EVALUATION ON THE RETURNED DEVICE. MENTOR THEN CONDUCTED A VISUAL INSPECTION, LEAK TESTING, AND MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION OF THE DEVICE. DURING VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE BREAST IMPLANT DEVICE, NO APPARENT DAMAGE OR VISUAL ANOMALIES WERE OBSERVED. LEAK TESTING WAS PERFORMED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH MENTOR PROCEDURES, AND IT IDENTIFIED A TEAR ON THE ANTERIOR VIEW, MEASURING APPROXIMATELY 0.1 CM. IN ADDITION, NO OTHER TEARS WERE DETECTED DURING THE ANALYSIS. A MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION WAS PERFORMED ON THE EDGES OF THE RUPTURE, AND PARALLEL STRIATIONS WERE FOUND IN THE WHOLE AREA OF THE TEAR. PARALLEL STRIATIONS ARE CONSISTENT WITH MARKINGS MADE BY A SHARP OBJECT PERFORATING THE TISSUE EXPANDER SHELL. BASED ON THE INFORMATION CURRENTLY AVAILABLE, A MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION OF THE RETURNED PRODUCT INDICATES THAT THE TISSUE EXPANDER COULD HAVE BEING DAMAGED DURING OR SUBSEQUENT TO IMPLANTATION. THE PRODUCT INSERT DATA SHEET CAUTIONS TO NOT ALLOW CAUTERY DEVICES OR SHARP INSTRUMENTS, SUCH AS SCALPELS, SUTURE NEEDLES, HYPODERMIC NEEDLES, HEMOSTATS, ADSON FORCEPS OR SCISSORS TO CONTACT THE DEVICE DURING THE IMPLANTATION OR OTHER SURGICAL PROCEDURES.
