Reason for Recall

Delfi Medical Innovations Inc has discovered that tourniquets cuffs in certain lots of the VariFit Sterile Single Use Thigh Cuffs, Single Port, Single Bladder models may have been manufactured with an inadequate perimeter weld on the cuff. Once applied to a patients thigh and inflated to a pressure to occlude blood flow in the thigh distal to the cuff, after a period of time the cuff may leak to the extent that the tourniquet instrument supplying air pressure to the cuff may not be able to adequately control and regulate pressure in the cuff. This may result in some blood flow in the thigh distal to the cuff.
