App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
An Ad-Tech Clinical Specialist, attended a case on April 15, 2019. During the case the surgeon encountered an issue after implanting four Ad-Tech depth electrodes. Upon initial device testing subsequent to implantation it was identified that two of the devices that were labeled as 8 contact depth electrodes (SD08R-SP05X-000) were in fact 6 contact depth electrodes (SD06R-SP05X-000) . There was no impact to the patient due to this incident.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
