App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
The air pipe that delivers unfiltered ambient air from the procedure room into the water bottle on the listed FUJINON G5 & G8 type flexible GI endoscopes does not connect to the main air/water channel within the light guide (LG) connection head and, as a result, the air pipe does not receive forced flow during the Reliance EPS processing cycle.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
