Stryker is recalling disposable tourniquet cuffs that may not hold pressure correctly during use, which could cause blood loss or bleeding during surgery. This risk occurs when the cuff is first applied to the patient.
The tourniquet cuffs may not achieve the correct pressure or maintain it after initial setup, which can cause blood to flow into the surgical site. This could lead to bleeding or more serious complications during surgery.
Medical professionals using the tourniquet cuffs during surgical procedures are most at risk. Patients undergoing surgery with these cuffs could experience blood loss if the cuff fails to hold pressure.
