China NMPA Product Recall - A.T.S. Cuffs

On January 15, 2020, the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) publicly announced a Class II voluntary recall initiated by Zimmer Surgical, Inc. This critical action concerns specific models and batches of the company's A.T.S. Cuffs, identified under Registration Certificate No.: 20142146077. The recall was reported by Zimmer (Shanghai) Medical International Trading Co., Ltd.

Such a defect could compromise the intended function and safety of the medical product. Operating within the regulatory framework established by the NMPA, Zimmer Surgical, Inc. is required to remove these potentially faulty devices from circulation. A Class II recall signifies that the use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. The company's immediate action involves identifying and withdrawing all affected products. Comprehensive details regarding the specific models, specifications, and batch numbers subject to this recall are provided in the "Medical Device Recall Event Report Form," which accompanies the NMPA's official announcement. This voluntary recall underscores the manufacturer's responsibility to maintain product quality and adhere to safety standards under regulatory scrutiny.
