SAM Medical Products is recalling a clip used to secure the accessory strap used for the Axilla application of the SAM Junctional Tourniquet.
The company says a low percentage of the clips failed during repetitive use in training.
There are no reports of patient injuries to date related to this issue nor has it been reported to fail during actual patient use.
SAM Medical has notified customers of the recall by letter and is arranging with its customers to replace the current axilla straps with an updated version.
