On (b)(6) 2021, a female individual contacted dna genotek regarding irritation in her mouth after swabbing her mouth with the ore-100 device for purposes of collecting a saliva sample for use with clarifi covid-19 testing in a school setting.The complaint was forwarded to quadrant biosciences on (b)(6) 2022.After reaching out to the individual, she indicated on (b)(6) 2022 the symptoms consisted of a burning sensation, tingling, numbness on the left side of her face, fatigue, stomach ache and headaches.The suspect medical device, ore-100, is used to collect saliva for use with the clarifi covid-19 test kit (b)(4).Ore-100 is manufactured by dna genotek and is included in the clarifi covid-19 test kit manufactured by quadrant biosciences as the device for collecting saliva specimens for testing with the clarifi test kit.In (b)(6) 2021, an individual swabbed the inside of her mouth using ore-100 for purposes of collecting a saliva sample for use with clarifi covid-19 testing in a school setting and experienced irritation.The individual contacted the dna genotek support team.Following the initial contact, the dna genotek team made several attempts to gather information from the individual with no response.On (b)(6) 2022, the complaint was forwarded to quadrant biosciences.After two attempts to gather information, the individual responded on (b)(6) 2022 that the symptoms they experienced in (b)(6) 2021 consisted of burning sensation, tingling and numbness on the left side of her face.The individual indicated after the first three occasions of administering the swab prior to (b)(6) 2021, the burning sensation, headache, fatigue and stomach ache experienced lasted for approximately 12 hours.When the individual administered the swab on (b)(6) 2021, they indicated the symptoms consisted of a burning sensation, tingling, numbness on the left side of her face, fatigue, stomach ache and headaches that lasted for two days, prompting her to contact her doctor.The doctor prescribed an epi pen as the individual does have preexisting latex sensitivity and chronic allergies.This submission is being made out of an abundance of caution, because medical intervention occurred and the potential severity of the individual's apparent reaction to contact with the ore-100 is unknown to the lack of any documented vital signs by the doctor, which would be used to predict the severity of the apparent reaction to the ore-100 to prompt the prescription of a safeguard in the event of the need for future medical intervention.
