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: The source text describes a risk-of-harm device malfunction but explicitly states the potential for complications occurs 'in exceedingly rare situations' and does not report any actual injuries or illnesses. This meets the rubric criterion for Score 3 (High): risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Stryker Corporation is recalling 1,617 units (supplied in packs of 10) of the Color Cuff Non-Sterile Disposable Tourniquet Cuff, catalog number 5921-034-235NS. This medical device is designed for use in surgical procedures that require temporary reduction of blood flow to a patient's extremities.
The company identified two separate failure modes in which the cuff may not achieve the desired pressure level or may fail to maintain pressure during initial setup on the patient. These malfunctions could result in operative site blood loss, hemorrhage, or in exceedingly rare situations, other major complications.
The affected cuffs were distributed nationwide. Affected lot numbers include: 2022111806, 2022112802, 2022120501, 2022120502, 2022120503, 2022120504, 2022120505, and 2022120701.
