Customed Wound Closure Tray I Recalled Due to Compromised Sterility

Customed, Inc. is recalling Wound Closure Tray I units because compromised sterility and manufacturing deficiencies may increase the risk of patient infection.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class I

Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the compromised sterility 'may result in patient infection,' which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or high-risk medical device defects that pose a serious health threat.
