App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
The products are labeled as Class II lasers. However, the level of laser radiation emitted by the distributed products may exceed the limit (1 mW) established for Class II lasers. These products would be more appropriately classified into laser Class IIIa (IEC Laser Class IIIR).

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
