14. Severity classification.
Major
15. Provide supplemental information here.
Considering the short onset of the symptoms in regard to the product exposure and the provided diagnosis of gallbladder infection, it is unlikely and unexpected that the product could have caused an infection. 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 cannot 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. This was an extra label use due to potential secondary exposure.
