Customed, Inc. is recalling 582 Ophthalmic Packs due to compromised sterility and inadequate storage conditions 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 aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury' reports or risks, warranting a Severe classification.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 582 units of Ophthalmic Packs, Catalog number 900-1780. These products are used by medical staff to perform patient care procedures such as wound healing, suture removals, and wound irrigation. The affected lot numbers are 140513114, 140513454, 140613824, and 140714334.

The recall was initiated because the products have compromised sterility, which is not limited to potentially damaged packaging. Serious deficiencies in manufacturing processes and uncontrolled, inadequate storage conditions increase the risk of contamination. This risk 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 recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal.
