Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Zimmer Surgical Inc Brand Name: Sterile Tourniquet Hoses Product Name: A.T.S¿ 4000 TS recall: Potential sterility breach in sealing area of sterile pouch. If used

Recall published 4 months ago

Potential sterility breach in sealing area of sterile pouch. If used, issue may result in moderate localized infection. If discovered prior to use, may result in clinically insignificant extension of surgery to find another readily available device.

The hazard: Sterility or particulate concern

Particulate matter or a sterility failure prompted this notice, the most common reason injectable and ophthalmic products are withdrawn.

What the notice says: Potential sterility breach in sealing area of sterile pouch. If used, issue may result in moderate localized infection. If discovered prior to use, may result in clinically insignificant extension of surgery to find another readily available device.

Why it matters: The product was made or packaged in conditions that cannot assure sterility, or visible particles were found in it. For anything injected, infused or used in the eye, that is a direct route for contamination into the body.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

Watch for fever, chills, pain, redness, swelling or discharge at an injection site, and for a red, painful or suddenly blurred eye after using an eye product. Any of these needs same-day medical attention. Do not wait to see whether it settles, and tell the clinician which product and lot you used so it can be reported against the recall.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

  • Ask the pharmacy to handle the claim where they can — they process recall returns in bulk and it saves you the correspondence.
  • Keep the carton, the leaflet and the pharmacy label together until the claim is closed.
  • Costs beyond the price of the medicine need to go to the company directly, in writing, with the recall number quoted.
