    ON OCTOBER 07, 2025, THE EVALUATION FOR THE DEVICE WAS COMPLETED. DEVICE EVALUATION SUMMARY: VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED DEVICE REVEALED THAT NO DAMAGE OR ANOMALIES WERE OBSERVED ON THE BREAST IMPLANT. LEAK TESTING WAS PERFORMED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH MENTOR PROCEDURES, AND NO AREAS OF GEL EXPOSURE WERE DETECTED DURING THE ANALYSIS. REGARDING THE REPORTED CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE CONDITION, THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH DETAILS TO DETERMINE THE FACTORS THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS CONDITION. CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE IN THE PATIENT¿S BREAST MIGHT BE THE RESULT OF THE BODY¿S INDIVIDUAL PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE TO THE IMPLANTATION OF A FOREIGN OBJECT IN SOFT TISSUE. FURTHER, CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE IS A KNOWN COMPLICATION ASSOCIATED WITH THESE DEVICES AND IS REFERENCED IN OUR CURRENT PRODUCT INSERT DATA SHEET. AS PART OF MENTOR'S QUALITY PROCESS, ALL DEVICES ARE MANUFACTURED, INSPECTED, AND RELEASED ACCORDING TO APPROVED SPECIFICATIONS. BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THIS INVESTIGATION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PRODUCT MET THE MANUFACTURING RELEASE CRITERIA: SINCE NO MALFUNCTION WAS OBSERVED DURING THE INVESTIGATION. NO CORRECTIVE AND PREVENTIVE ACTION (CAPA) IS REQUIRED NOW. ADDITIONAL COMPLAINT INFORMATION MONITORING FOR POTENTIAL SAFETY SIGNALS IS CONDUCTED THROUGH COMPLAINT TRENDING AS PART OF POST-MARKET SURVEILLANCE. MANUFACTURER¿S REFERENCE NUMBER: (B)(4).
