Label	Id	Description
Breast Cancer pN3a TNM Finding v8	NCIT_C139442	[Breast cancer with metastases in 10 or more axillary lymph nodes (at least one tumor deposit larger than 2.0 mm); or metastases to the infraclavicular (level III axillary) lymph nodes. (from AJCC 8th Ed.)]
Left Brachiocephalic Vein	NCIT_C34200
Lens Pit	NCIT_C34201	[A depression in the surface ectoderm in the head region of the early embryo formed by invagination of the lens placodes, which houses the lens precursor cells.]
Lens Placodes	NCIT_C34202	[A pair of thickened surface ectodermal patches in the head region of the early embryo that will ultimately give rise to the lenses of the eyes.]
Nomifensine Maleate	NCIT_C73808
Seproxetine Hydrochloride	NCIT_C73809
Analysis of Data Provided by User/Third Party	NCIT_C139458	[The investigation involved the analysis of relevant data provided by the user (e.g. healthcare professional, patient, clinical engineer) or a third party (e.g. testing facility) in view of supporting the identification of possible causes for the adverse event.]
Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Receptor	NCIT_C48827	[Melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor (317 aa, ~35 kDa) is encoded by the human MC1R gene. This protein plays a role in both hormone binding and melanogenesis.]
Device Not Manufactured by Reporting Manufacturer	NCIT_C139459	[Further information was obtained which established that the manufacturer of the device involved was not the one to which it was initially attributed.]
Primary Lymphedema	NCIT_C48829	[A congenital condition that results in swelling in the arms or legs, and can occur during adolescence or adulthood. Loss of motion and pain may also accompany the swelling. Protein-rich lymphatic fluid accumulates in tissues, engorging and enlarging vessels and often causing visible swelling, tenderness, and pain. Left untreated, the affected tissues may continue to swell, and can become hardened or fibrotic and susceptible to infection.]
Lymphedema	NCIT_C3207	[Excess fluid collection in tissues, causing swelling. It is the result of obstruction of lymphatic vessels or lymph nodes.]
Upper Jaw	NCIT_C48822
Testing of Patient Sample or Reference Material Using Competitor's Device	NCIT_C139454	[The investigation employed relevant empirical testing of a patient sample or reference material using a competitor's device that is comparable to the device (usually an IVD) involved in the reported adverse event in order to support the identification of possible causes for the adverse event. Relevant testing would typically be based on test methods used for evaluating safety and performance as described in the latest relevant standards.]
Lower Jaw	NCIT_C48823
Historical Data Analysis	NCIT_C139455	[The investigation involved the analysis of historical adverse events data of the actual device involved in the adverse event and/or of products from the same and/or different batches/lots.]
Lumbosacral Region	NCIT_C48824	[The region of the spine in the lower back that consists of the five lumbar vertebrae and the sacrum.]
Trend Analysis	NCIT_C139456	[The investigation involved trend analysis of adverse event of the actual device involved in the adverse event and/or of products from the same and/or different batches/lots. It should be noted that trend analysis typically is not considered sufficient as a stand-alone method, but should be used in conjunction with other investigation methods for providing for instance complementary information.]
MC1R Gene	NCIT_C48825	[This gene plays a role in epidermal development and regulation of melanogenesis.]
Communication/Interviews	NCIT_C139457	[The investigation involved communication/interviews (either interpersonal or through technical means, e.g. phone, e-mail) with persons close to the adverse event, e.g. healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses etc.), the affected patient(s) or other users including, where appropriate, relatives or others engaged in caring for the affected patient.]
Testing of Model Variant	NCIT_C139450	[The investigation employed relevant empirical testing of a model variant of the device involved in the reported adverse event in order to support the identification of possible causes for the adverse event through plausibility reasoning. A model variant is not identical to the actual device, but shares relevant characteristics with the device involved. Relevant testing would typically be based on test methods used for evaluating safety and performance as described in the latest relevant standards.]
