Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Customer service requested customer contact them for further assistance.In follow up with a complaint handler on 9/6/2024, the customer reported she was diagnosed with mastitis by her midwife and prescribed an antibiotic by her doctor.She had mastitis twice, which since has been resolved.Based on the results of our internal investigation (reference number (b)(4)), it cannot be definitively concluded that the pump caused or contributed to the customer¿s mastitis.The estimated incidence of mastitis in lactating women, whether using a breast pump or not, according to published clinical literature can be as high as 33%.In fact, clinical guidelines suggest the use of a breast pump to facilitate withdrawal of breast milk during bouts of mastitis.The complaint rate of mastitis across all reported failures, across all medela breast pumps, is (b)(4)% for the period of january 2013 to august 2017.Mastitis is usually a benign, self-limiting infection with few consequences for the suckling infant.The risk of mastitis is higher among women who have breastfed previously, especially those with a history of mastitis.Riordan & wambach, 4th ed.P.294: breastfeeding and human lactation.However, in this case, the mother¿s mastitis required prompt medical attention for pain relief and prescription antibiotics to avoid progression to overwhelming sepsis.
