App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
The affected Milex Gellhorn pessaries were incorrectly manufactured with a long stem (2.170 ), instead of a short stem (1.670 or 1.960 nominal height) as required. The length discrepancy does not meet the released print dimensions.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
