Customed Laparoscopy Cholecystectomy Surgical Pack Recalled for Sterility Compromise

Customed, Inc. is recalling 192 units of Laparoscopy Cholecystectomy 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 text explicitly states that the compromised sterility 'may result in patient infection,' which constitutes a risk of significant injury. This aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or high-risk contamination scenarios.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 192 units of the Laparoscopy Cholecystectomy Surgical Pack, Catalog number 900-576A. The affected lots are 140513373, 140613770, 140614115, 140714333, 140814678, and 140915190. These products were distributed in the United States to Florida, New York, and Puerto Rico.

The recall is due to significant compromised sterility, which is not limited to potentially damaged packaging. Serious deficiencies in manufacturing processes and uncontrolled, inadequate storage conditions increase the risk of contamination. This may result in patient infection.

Medical staff who used these packs for patient care procedures should stop using the affected units and contact Customed, Inc. for further instructions.
