Stryker Color Cuff tourniquet cuff mislabeled as single-bladder when dual-bladder

Stryker Sustainability Solutions is recalling 40 units of Color Cuff 18" tourniquet cuffs (Lot #12983349) because they are mislabeled as single-bladder when they are actually dual-bladder, creating a risk of incorrect clinical use.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II device with a functional mislabeling defect affecting a critical component (single vs. dual bladder). This is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, but the mislabeling of a tourniquet cuff creates potential for incorrect clinical use.

Plain-English summary

Stryker Sustainability Solutions is recalling 40 units of its Stryker Color Cuff 18" (Red) Quick Connect tourniquet cuff, reference number 5921-018-135 (Lot #12983349). The cuffs are mislabeled as single-bladder inflatable cuffs when they are actually dual-bladder.

This mislabeling creates a risk of incorrect use in clinical and surgical settings where the bladder configuration is critical for proper device function and patient safety. Users relying on the labeling may deploy or use the cuff incorrectly.
