What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (sterile medical device) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria for potential patient infection without confirmed cases.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 1,050 units of Dressing Change kits, catalog number 900-1538. These products are used by medical staff to perform patient care procedures such as wound healing, suture removals, and wound irrigation. The affected lots are 140412914, 140613614, and 140714185.

The recall was initiated because the products have 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. This contamination may result in patient infection.

The products were distributed in the United States to Florida, New York, and Puerto Rico. Medical facilities and consumers who have these specific products should stop using them and contact the manufacturer or their supplier for instructions on return or disposal.
