App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
The Lock Nut component of the Jet appliances may be missing the screw collar, which serves as a mechanical stop to prevent over-tightening in appliance assemby. Without this collar, an over-tightened lock nut may stop the piston assembly from moving freely, subsequently preventing intended movement of the teeth.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
