App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
Device is at risk of having detectable levels of bacterial endotoxin present on the packaging hoop that the catheter is packaged in. The bacterial endotoxin levels for the catheters are within acceptable levels; however, if bacterial endotoxins are present on the packaging hoops it may have the potential for cross-contamination in a clinical setting.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
