App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
The firm is reinforcing the IFU instructions: "Do not use if the package is damaged." If upon inspection of the packaging, any damage is observed, including pinholes or tears in the pouch, the product should not be used.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.

Official device-enrichment evidence · Unknown
