Death
AThe product use history is somewhat vague in that it lacks a well documented description of a known or defined point of direct exposure to this product. In most cases of casual or incidental contact with this product death would not be an expected and is not consistent with the toxicological profile of this product. Given this patients very significant underlying medical history there is a at least a theoretical risk of development of significant respiratory symptoms secondary to over-exposure to any substance that can significantly alter the air quality in the room in which she resided. The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews.
