App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
The tabs on the reamer extension device have broken. DePuy is notifying surgeons of the issue to increase the awareness and to ask surgeons and users to look for tabs before and after surgery to reduce any potential that the tabs are left in the patient. Once the root cause is determined and a design change is implemented, DePuy will conduct a formal swap-out of the affected devices.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
