App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
Some disposable cannulas (with 4-digit lot numbers) provided with the Amvisc or Amvisc Plus OVD are not properly engaging to the Luer-Lock on the Amvisc and Amvisc Plus sterile glass syringes. The cannulas may leak viscoelastic material or detach from the syringe during injection. In rare incidents, detachment has resulted in serious patient injury.
