“Stryker Triton Canister Scanning Labels Recall: Blood Loss Estimation Risk.” GovInfoNow, updated August 19, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/65960-stryker-triton-canister-scanning-labels-recall-blood-loss-estimation-risk. Based on FDA recall #Z-1402-2022 (https://api.fda.gov/device/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22Z-1402-2022%22&limit=1).

The FDA announced on Jan. 22, 2020, that Stryker Instruments recalled Triton Canister System Scanning Labels due to color variance that may cause lower-than-expected blood loss estimates. The recall affects labels manufactured before Dec. 24, 2019.

How to tell if you have it

  • Triton Canister System Scanning Label (finished part numbers FG 12009 for 3L canisters and FG 12019 for 2L canisters; component part number 11032)
  • UPC 10859506006101
  • UPC 10859506006125
  • Date of manufacture prior to 2019-12-24

The hazard

Some Canister Scanning Labels used to calibrate the Triton Canister System have a color variance. Based on a comprehensive analysis, blood loss estimates obtained using these labels may result in lower than expected results.
