App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
There is a potential for biased results to be generated over the 10 day on-analyzer storage limit when using VITROS Na+ Slide cartridges warmed at room temperature and loaded onto the analyzer after using the minimum warm up requirements stated in the IFU. If Quality Control (QC) results are within acceptable limits, reported results are acceptable and were not affected by this issue.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
