Customed, Inc. is recalling 20 Liposuction Packs due to compromised sterility and manufacturing deficiencies 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 deficiencies 'may result in patient infection,' which constitutes a significant injury risk. This aligns with the rubric criterion for 'Severe' (4) involving significant injury reports or risks, and the agency's Class I classification mandates a score of at least 4.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 20 units of the Liposuction Pack, Catalog #900-3028. This medical device is used by medical staff to perform patient care procedures such as wound healing, suture removals, and wound irrigation. The affected units are identified by lot numbers 140613790 and 140714518.

The recall is being issued because of 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 factors increase the risk of contamination and may result in patient infection.

The affected 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 product and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal.
