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 deficiencies 'may result in patient infection,' which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or high-risk contamination scenarios warranting a Severe classification.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 168 units of the Extremity PACK (catalog #900-2615). 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 140513135, 140613730, and 140714256.

The recall was initiated due to significant compromised sterility, which is not limited to potentially damaged packaging. The FDA identified serious deficiencies in the manufacturing processes and uncontrolled and inadequate storage conditions. These issues increase the risk of contamination and 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 lot numbers should stop using the products and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal.
