App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
The frequency of calibration for the Genius Tympanic Thermometer as stated in the operating manual may not ensure that thermometers always remain within the stated accuracy range (¿ 0.2¿C for Genius 2 and ¿ 0.3¿C for Genius 3 thermometers). The measurement readings drift upwards over time, which means that the thermometers could exceed the upper stated accuracy tolerance of +0.2¿C for Genius 2 or +0.3¿C for Genius 3.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
