Customed Utility Drape End Product Recalled for Compromised Sterility
Customed, Inc. is recalling Utility Drape End Products due to compromised sterility and manufacturing deficiencies that may result in 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 deficiencies 'may result in patient infection,' which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury' reports or risks, warranting a Severe classification.
