Customed Arthroscopy Packs Recalled for Sterility and Contamination Risks

Customed, Inc. is recalling 60 Arthroscopy 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 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or high-risk contamination scenarios that warrant a Severe classification.
