What happened, in plain English

Zimmer is recalling A.T.S 4000 TS Tourniquet Systems single hoses with CPC connectors because of a potential sterility breach in the sealing area. If used, this could lead to moderate localized infections. If discovered before use, it might require extending surgery to find another device.

Why it’s dangerous

The sealing area of the sterile pouch may allow contamination, leading to moderate localized infections if the hose is used. If the issue is found before use, surgery might need to be extended to find an alternative device.

Medical professionals using these tourniquet hoses during surgery are most at risk. Patients undergoing procedures with these specific hoses could be affected if the sterility breach occurs.
