App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
Hospira has received reports of customers experiencing air-in-line alarms related to administration sets that have a drip chamber with a ball valve. Preliminary investigation findings found that there is a potential for the ball valve to not seal the drip chamber as intended, leading to air in the line of the administration set.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
