App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
There is a risk for a false mutation positive result in rare cases resulting from a fluorescence artefact. In these rare cases, the controls pass correctly, while a fluorescence artefact in the mutation assay causes an incorrect valid mutation positive result.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.

Official device-enrichment evidence · Unknown

An exact joined enrichment record exists, but none supplies supported root-cause wording. This is not an FDA finding of an unknown cause.
