App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
Arrow is recalling certain lots of the Continuous Nerve Block Component, Product Code: AB-18040-N, due to a labeling inconsistency. The product lidstock incorrectly identifies the needle in the finished good as 17Ga rather than the correct 18Ga. The product included in the package is the correct 18Ga size. No injuries or illnesses have been reported.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
