Event or Problem Description
(b)(6) used the dexcom g7.She used the g7 receiver part number mt26403-0 to monitor and track her glucose levels.On sunday, (b)(6) 2025 we found her unresponsive.She was airlifted to (b)(6) hospital ((b)(6)) in (b)(6).She had suffered seizures which left her in the condition we found her in.She never responded or recovered from the brain damage caused by the seizures and passed away on (b)(6) 2025.The seizures were caused by hypoglycemia.Her glucose was under 40 for over 13 hours once we found her.Her cause of death was metabolic encephalopathy due to hypoglycemia.After she had passed away, a letter from (b)(4) dated (b)(6) 2025, was received stating on (b)(6) 2025 (4 days before (b)(6) hypoglycemic event occurred) dexcom had notified them that certain part numbers of the g7 receivers may experience an issue where the alarm/alert may not provide audio output.Pamela lived alone and depended on her receiver to alert her if her glucose was out of range.There were many tests ran on (b)(6) to determine what had caused her issue.She had her 1st magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showing damage either late (b)(6) 2025, or in the early morning hours of (b)(6) 2025.She was then hooked up to the electroencephalogram to determine if seizures were still occurring.Another mri was completed some days after that still in (b)(6) 2025 still showing the damage.The electroencephalogram picked up more seizures and then the slow brain activity.
