Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to provide further supportive evidence that Methoxyflurane, a potent analgesic, administered using the Penthrox Inhaler is safe and efficacious in adult participants, specifically those who experience incident pain associated with a planned bone marrow biopsy.

Exclusion Criteria

* Subjects with a clinical condition that may, in the opinion of the investigator, impact on the subject's ability to participate in the study, or on the study results
* Participants who have had IV sedation/opioid on previous BMB and who wish to receive IV sedation/opioid on this occasion or who in the opinion of the BMB operator would be advised to receive IV sedation/opioid on this occasion
