App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
Certain lots of Reagent reservoirs, may not have a separation in the lower part of the reservoir. As a consequence, pipetting errors can occur due to uneven distribution of reagent. These pipetting errors may lead to delayed results and wasted reagent.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
