    ON JUNE 17, 2024, THE MENTOR FAILURE ANALYSIS LAB RECEIVED THE DEVICE FOR EVALUATION. ON JUNE 21, 2024, THE PRODUCT INVESTIGATION WAS COMPLETED. DEVICE INVESTIGATION SUMMARY: THE PRODUCT WAS RETURNED TO MENTOR FOR EVALUATION. MENTOR CONDUCTED A VISUAL INSPECTION, MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION, AND THICKNESS MEASUREMENT OF THE RETURNED DEVICE. VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED SAMPLE REVEALED THAT THE SMOOTH HPG, 750CC BREAST IMPLANT WAS FOUND TO BE RUPTURED AND RECEIVED IN TWO PARTS. A MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION WAS PERFORMED, AND THE CAUSE OF THE TEAR COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED. THEREFORE A THICKNESS MEASUREMENT WAS CONDUCTED ON THE SHELL AT THE TEAR, AND THE THICKNESS WAS WITHIN MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATIONS. A MANUFACTURING RECORD EVALUATION WAS PERFORMED FOR THE FINISHED DEVICE LOT NUMBER, AND NO NON-CONFORMANCES WERE IDENTIFIED. ALTHOUGH NO CONCLUSION COULD BE REACHED ON THE CAUSE OF THE REPORTED EVENT, THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING CAUTION: RUPTURE CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME AFTER IMPLANTATION, BUT IT IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR THE LONGER THE IMPLANT IS IMPLANTED. THE FOLLOWING THINGS MAY CAUSE THE IMPLANT TO RUPTURE: DAMAGE BY SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS; STRESSING THE IMPLANT DURING IMPLANTATION AND WEAKENING IT; FOLDING OR WRINKLING OF THE IMPLANT SHELL; EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE CHEST (E.G. DURING CLOSED CAPSULOTOMY); TRAUMA; COMPRESSION DURING MAMMOGRAPHIC IMAGING; AND SEVERE CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE. BREAST IMPLANTS MAY ALSO SIMPLY WEAR OUT OVER TIME. A SECOND PRODUCT WAS RECEIVED (LOT-6592257). NO ADVERSE EVENTS WERE REPORTED FOR THIS CONCOMITANT (CONTRALATERAL) DEVICE, THEREFORE NO FURTHER ANALYSIS IS REQUIRED. AS PART OF MENTOR¿S QUALITY PROCESS, ALL DEVICES ARE MANUFACTURED, INSPECTED, AND RELEASED TO APPROVED SPECIFICATIONS. NO CORRECTIVE AND PREVENTIVE ACTION (CAPA) IS REQUIRED NOW.
