App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
This recall is being initiated because the affected lots of this product may yield results that are not consistent with stated precision performance criteria at concentration values at the high-end of the Glucose test sensor (>400 mg/dl). Specifically, after a period of storage of three (3) to four (4) months, the Glucose sensor may report low results at the high end of the measurement range.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
