French term or phrase: P.A.
I'm translating some text relating to a deviation - a re-test that was not performed on syringe volumes during battery filling. I have not been given very much context at all.

I am not sure how to translate the abbreviation "P.A" in this context:

Oubli de reprélèvement d'1 seringue pour recontrole après un contrôle d'1 seringue en catégorie 9
Valeur non-conforme car une quantité infime de produit reste dans le P.A....

... En effet, lorsqu'on ote le P.A., il se peut que du produit reste dans le P.A. et fausse ainsi le résultat

Has anyone come across this abbreviation?
