FEDERAL REGULATION READS:
ANSI Z3081.1-2021 “A tourniquet used for blood drawing is insufficient to meet the criteria set forth. Common arterial tourniquets that meet this standard utilize a method such as a ratchet or a windlass to reach full occlusion. Application scenarios include trapped and open limb application as well as the ability to self-apply and apply to a victim.”
