In tobacco studies, subjects may report problems or malfunctions with the device used to deliver the tobacco product, which may or may not result in adverse events. These may be called "events" or "malfunctions." Often the true cause of the issue cannot be determined until a cause analysis is performed. Theses device related issues or events may or may not be a concern for a given trial depending upon whether the device has already been approved by regulators. 

The Tobacco Product Events and Malfunctions (EM)) domain is based on the Events General Observation class and is used to represent device issues and/or events. 

There is more than one approach to identifying tobacco product devices involved with these events/incidents. The method chosen will depend upon the granularity at which the applicant needs to track the tobacco product devices and will affect how the data are modeled. A tobacco product device can be identified as a single unit or its components can be separately identified. The level of granularity a applicant chooses will be influenced by whether the components will be replaced and/or tracked, and how tobacco product device/adverse event relationships and actions taken will be assessed.

Example

This is an example of a study where the applicant collected issues and events associated with the operation of the electronic cigarette product and any adverse events that a subject experienced as a result of the product issue or event.   

This form collects events and malfunctions associated with the operation of the tobacco product device.
