(b)(4).
Cre infections arising out of (b)(6) were the subject of multiple previous mdrs and related investigations; see 30-day mdr#'s 2518897-2013-00004, 2518897-2013-00005, 2518897-2013-00006, 2518897-2014-00001, and 2518897-2014-00002 filed on 09/20/2013, 10/28/2013, 11/12/2013, 03/06/2014, 03/06/2014, respectively.
On 07/13/2015, pentax medical was served with a legal complaint (summons) for an injury regarding a patient undergoing a procedure at (b)(6) in 2013, but insufficient information was provided at that time to identify the patient or match the patient to patients that were previously the subject of the referenced mdrs.
As a result, mdr 2518897-2015-00023 was filed for this patient with the information received 07/13/2015 through the legal complaint (summons).
With the receipt of the additional information on 09/03/2015, pentax medical has been able to confirm that this patient corresponds with patient previously reported in a prior mdr (mdr 2518897-2013-00004, follow up#2).
Therefore, going forward pentax medical will cease supplementing the present mdr and will report supplemental information on this patient exclusively to mdr 2518897-2013-00004.
