Customed Laparotomy Surgical Pack Recalled for Sterility Compromise
Customed, Inc. is recalling 852 Laparotomy Surgical Packs due to compromised sterility and manufacturing deficiencies that may cause 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 explicitly states that the compromised sterility 'may result in patient infection.' Under the rubric, a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported is classified as High (3), but the explicit mention of 'patient infection' as a potential outcome of a sterile medical device failure aligns with the 'significant injury' criteria for Severe (4) due to the high risk of serious harm from infection.
Plain-English summary
Customed, Inc. is recalling 852 units of the Laparotomy Surgical Pack, catalog #900-281A. These products are used by medical staff to perform patient care procedures such as wound healing, suture removals, and wound irrigation. The recall affects lot numbers 140412669, 140412796, 140613735, and 140714265.
The recall is being conducted because of significant compromised sterility, which is not limited to potentially damaged packaging.

The affected 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.
