App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
There is a potential for imprecise results when using the slides. Increase in imprecision when using PHYT coating 0165. This leads to higher and lower than expected results for both quality control samples and patient samples.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
