In this use of jada, care was escalated for the original diagnosis of postpartum hemorrhage, consistent with the device labeling.The device labeling statement related to reassessment and escalation is as follows: "warning: signs of patient deterioration or failure to improve indicate the need for reassessment and possibly more aggressive treatment and management of postpartum hemorrhage (pph)/abnormal postpartum uterine bleeding." it is unclear whether the jada malfunctioned based on the information that is available at this time, but out of an abundance of caution and because we cannot rule it out at this time, we are reporting this event due to the 30-day reporting deadline.If we become aware of additional information, we will supplement this report.The submission of this report is not an admission that the device caused or contributed to the reported event.
