Customed Minor Laparotomy Packs Recalled for Sterility Compromise
Customed, Inc. is recalling 250 Minor Laparotomy Packs due to compromised sterility and manufacturing deficiencies that may cause patient infection.
What this means for you
Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4. The source text explicitly states that the compromised sterility 'may result in patient infection,' a serious health consequence that elevates the severity to Critical (5) under the rubric for known or highly probable serious injury.
Plain-English summary
Customed, Inc. is recalling 250 units of the Minor Laparotomy Pack, Catalog number 900-450. These sterile packs are 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 140513248, 140613761, and 140613837.
The recall was initiated 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 products and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal.
