## Indications for Use

The A.T.S. 4000TS Automatic Tourniquet System is intended to be used by qualified medical professionals to temporarily occlude blood flow in a patient's extremities during surgical procedures on those extremities. Tourniquets have been found useful in producing a bloodless operation field in surgical procedures involving the extremities including: Reduction of certain fractures, Kirschner wire removal, Tumor and cyst excisions, Subcutaneous fasciotomy, Nerve injuries, Tendon repair, Bone grafts, Total wrist joint replacement, Replacement of joints in the fingers, Knee joint replacements, Amputations, Replantations

## Device Story

The Zimmer A.T.S. 4000TS is a pneumatic tourniquet system used by medical professionals in surgical settings to create a bloodless field. The system comprises a control unit connected via tubing to an inflatable pneumatic cuff applied to a patient's limb. The device regulates pneumatic pressure to temporarily occlude blood flow. It includes an LOP (Limb Occlusion Pressure) feature to manage pressure settings. The system is operated by qualified medical professionals; output is a pressurized cuff state. Clinical benefit is the facilitation of surgical procedures by minimizing bleeding in the operative field.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data was required or provided for this device. Substantial equivalence was established through non-clinical performance testing, including electrical safety (IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-1-8), software validation (IEC 62304), and usability testing (IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 62366).

## Technological Characteristics

Pneumatic tourniquet system; consists of control unit and inflatable cuff. Complies with IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-1-8 for electrical safety and environmental conditions. Software developed per IEC 62304:2006 and AAMI/ANSI HE-75:2009. Usability testing per IEC 60601-1-6 and IEC 62366:2007.

## Regulatory Identification

A pneumatic tourniquet is an air-powered device consisting of a pressure-regulating unit, connecting tubing, and an inflatable cuff. The cuff is intended to be wrapped around a patient's limb and inflated to reduce or totally occlude circulation during surgery.

KCY - Pneumatic tourniquet

21 CFR § 878.5910 - Pneumatic tourniquet

Zimmer® A.T.S.® 3000 Automatic Tourniquet System, K050411, cleared 09/02/2005

The Zimmer A.T.S. 4000TS Tourniquet System is a non-sterile device intended to be used by qualified medical professionals to temporarily occlude blood flow in a patient's extremities during surgical procedures on those extremities.

The system consists of the A.T.S. 4000TS control unit that is coupled to the patient with the applied part (inflatable pneumatic tourniquet cuff) via the connecting tubing. The tourniquet cuff is applied to the patient prior to the procedure beginning. The connecting tubing is attached to the inflatable tourniquet cuff and plugged into the A. T.S. 4000TS's connector ports.
