Customed Cardiovascular Case Carts Recalled for Compromised Sterility

Customed, Inc. is recalling 48 Cirugia Cardiovascular Case Carts 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,' which constitutes a risk of significant injury. This aligns with the rubric criterion for 'Severe' (4) involving significant injury reports or risks, and the agency classification is Class I.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 48 units of the Cirugia Cardiovascular Case Cart, Catalog number 900-1500. These carts are used by medical staff to perform patient care procedures such as wound healing, suture removals, and wound irrigation. The affected units are associated with lot numbers 140412871, 140613717, 140614025, 140714326, 140814867, and 140814991.

The recall is being conducted because of compromised sterility, which is not limited to potentially damaged packaging. Serious deficiencies in the manufacturing processes and uncontrolled and inadequate storage conditions increase the risk of contamination and may result in patient infection.

The affected products were distributed in the United States to Florida, New York, and Puerto Rico. Medical facilities that have received these products should stop using them and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal.
