App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
The firm became aware of a cleaning solution leaking issue from the middle staining module of the Ventana HE 600 instrument, used for histologic section samples in anatomic pathology laboratory settings, which caused fluid to travel down to the electrical wiring connector of the Coverslipper solvent shield circuit board. This can cause an electrical short and result in burned components.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
