AE” means any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject, which results in any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered, related to the medicinal product.  All noxious and unintended responses to a medicinal product related to any dose should be considered adverse drug reactions.  Responses to a medicinal product means that a causal relationship between the product and AE is at least a reasonable possibility (i.e., the relationship cannot be ruled out or cannot be determined).  The failure of a Sestamibi Product to localize as expected shall not be deemed an adverse experience, whereas a significant failure of expected pharmacologic action would be considered an adverse event.

Special Situation” means any outcomes of pregnancies of patients exposed to product, AE during breastfeeding, data on use of product in children, lack of efficacy (effect), transmission of an infectious disease with product, overdose, misuse, or abuse, medication errors or AE in compassionate use/named patient use.
