Customed C-Section Surgical Packs Recalled for Sterilization Validation Issues

Customed, Inc. is recalling 238 C-Section Surgical Packs because the sterilization processes and package integrity were not adequately validated.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (sterile surgical packs) where the hazard is theoretical due to inadequate sterilization validation, and no injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Customed, Inc. is recalling 238 units of Catalog Number 900921A C-Section Surgical Packs. These products are used by medical staff to perform surgical procedures and patient care procedures such as wound healing, suture removals, and wound irrigation.
