App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
When testing was conducted using certain lots, VITROS¿ Systems generated results within the measuring range for samples known to not contain measurable hCG. The system reported results up to approximately 7.40 mIU/mL (IU/L) for patient samples that should have been less than the measuring range of the assay (<2.39 mIU/mL (IU/L)).

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
