Plain-English summary

Custom Healthcare Systems, Inc. is recalling 240 units of the Inpatient Dialysis Kit (PAK-19244). The recall was initiated because a component included in the kit, specifically a 1961 TELFA PAD 2 X 3, contains latex.

The affected products are identified by Lot Number 20190614 and have an expiration date of February 1, 2020. The Unique Device Identifier (UDI) for the product is (01)00811870033261(17)200201(10)20190614. The agency classifies this recall as Class II.

The affected kits were distributed in the United States to Illinois. Consumers and healthcare providers should check their inventory for this specific lot number and expiration date. If the product is found, it should be removed from use and returned to the manufacturer or disposed of according to local regulations, as the unlisted latex poses a risk to individuals with latex allergies.
