Stryker tourniquet cuffs may fail to maintain proper pressure during initial setup, potentially causing operative blood loss or hemorrhage during surgical procedures.
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: This is an FDA Class II recall of surgical equipment with potential for serious patient harm (hemorrhage) from pressure failure during use. However, no injuries or hospitalizations have been reported, and the hazard represents a risk-of-harm scenario rather than demonstrated harm, placing it in the High severity category.
