Stryker Corporation is recalling 233 units of the SmartPump Tourniquet (disposable sterile, single use) because the cuff flange may detach from the bladder. This defect can cause a leak during a medical procedure, which may result in unexpected blood loss or other serious cardiovascular complications. The recall includes specific disposable models and sizes used in surgical settings to control blood flow.
A leak in the tourniquet cuff during surgery can lead to severe hemorrhage, cardiovascular collapse, stroke, or death. In procedures involving regional anesthesia, a leak could also cause rapid absorption of anesthetics into the patient's system, leading to drug toxicity.
Quantity affected: 233 units
