Sterile Tourniquet Hoses Recalled Due to Potential Sterility Breach

Zimmer Surgical Inc is recalling A.T.S. 4000 TS Tourniquet Systems Dual Hose with CPC Connectors due to a potential sterility breach in the sealing area of the sterile pouch. If used, the issue may result in moderate localized infection.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as Class II. The source text explicitly describes the hazard as "potential" and a "may result" in "moderate localized infection"—a theoretical risk without reported illnesses. This fits the Moderate category for minor device-function issues without confirmed adverse events.
