Corrections to the original medwatch report concerning the type of report: the report type was checked as an adverse event but should have only been checked as a malfunction.This section should not have had any checks since this was not an adverse event in the original medwatch report, it was reported that after receiving negative urine hcg results, the female patient had an iud inserted.It was later learned that this procedure had been planned but later cancelled after the follow up results were positive.The type of reportable event should be malfunction - not serious injury as checked on the initial medwatch report (b)(4).
