Customed Lithotomy Pack Recalled for Sterility and Contamination Risks

Customed, Inc. is recalling 460 Lithotomy Packs due to compromised sterility and manufacturing deficiencies that may cause 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/property-damage reports' or high-risk contamination scenarios that warrant a Severe classification.
