App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
Customers were not following the labeled assay procedure. This was due to a letter issued to them in 2004 from Phadia GmbH, which indicated that customers could omit the pre-wash step. The omission of the pre-wash step, when combined with a change in material source in kit lot #0067, caused elevated results.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
