Customed Open Heart Tray Recalled for Compromised Sterility and Contamination Risk
Customed, Inc. is recalling 71 Open Heart Trays due to compromised sterility and manufacturing deficiencies that may result in patient infection.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. 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.' Under the severity rubric, a risk of harm where injury has not yet been reported is classified as High (3), but the explicit mention of a serious health consequence (infection) from a sterile medical device aligns with the 'Severe' (4) criteria for significant injury reports or high-risk medical device failures.
Plain-English summary
Customed, Inc. is recalling 71 units of the Open Heart Tray, Catalog number 900-1196C.

The affected units are associated with lot numbers 140513169, 140613799, 140714322, and 140814871.
The recall is being conducted because of compromised sterility, which is not limited to potentially damaged packaging.
