App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc. has confirmed that a negative sodium bias may exist in some epoc test card lots. All other analytes are performing as intended. The observed average bias for sodium was -4.4 mmol/L. The maximum bias observed was -14 mmol/L, which occurred at a higher sodium concentration around 150 mmol/L. No positive bias has been observed. Quality Control (QC) fluid may or may not detect the issue depending on the bias magnitude and the frequency of QC testing.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
