(color / strangulation).No.Has the patient previously had mrsa infections? yes.In a port used for chemo infusion in (b)(6) 2017.Where was the mrsa infection diagnosed from the stoma? skin? sepsis? urine? mrsa diagnosed on (b)(6) 26 at hospital from swab of area around stoma.What kind of antibiotic treatment is the patient receiving? none now (b)(6) 2019, vancomycin & maxipime for four days in hospital.Amoxicillin at home for 14 days.Does the patient take any concomitant medication (steroid?) ? no.What is the reason for the patient having a urostomy? how long has the patient had the stoma? bladder removal due to cancer.Based on the available information it is medically assessed that: from the current available data it cannot be ruled out that the medical issue is related to the product.The end-user complaint of a mrsa infection which is expected to have led to discoloration of the stoma.(change in stoma colour to black/green (as described) may also be related to stoma strangulation/lack of blood supply) in order to know whether the infection is product related, coloplast is attempting to receive 3 samples from the same box/lot for further microbiological testing.The complaint should be classified as infection.

Conclusion on medical assessment.Patient suffered from an infection requiring hospitalization (severity 3).Temporary damage/ no permanent damage.The actual root cause for the infection cannot be established.However, it seems unlikely that it is related to the product.Patient was changed from a product variant with a larger cut max to a variant with a smaller cut max, which seems to have initiated the initial changes to the peristomal skin and superficial infection.This may have influenced the onset/severity of the mrsa infection, but causality with the information available cannot be established.
