User - comment: from user site investigator: after analyzing the case with the head of the gynecological department of the (b)(6) hospital, they consider that the behavior of the doctors on guard could been better. (which is also my opinion) they should had asked for a second opinion of the case and their therapeutic behavior was very aggressive, instead waiting the clinical response after removal the iud and the antibiotics the ob / gyn department is working on improving this issue with the medical staff of the hospital. Wcg - comment from wcg qa: further investigation/evaluation of the reported plus and easy grip cannula devices used in the mva procedure could not be performed as lot number information could not be provided. Device was not available for evaluation.
