App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
Recovery for assayed controls are out of assigned ranges. A drift >3 seconds in the normal APTT range and/or >15% in the pathological range has been observed. Patient samples with recoveries close to the medical decision points could exhibit a deviation up to 4 seconds for the normal range and up to 33% for the pathological range.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.

Official device-enrichment evidence · Unknown
