Customed O.B. Pack Recalled for Potential Packaging Integrity Compromise

Customed, Inc. is recalling O.B. Packs because packaging integrity may be compromised, potentially leading to product contamination or loss of sterility.

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 medical device) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the criteria for a High severity score.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 904 units of Customed O.B. Packs across 24 lots. These convenience packs contain multiple surgical components, including set up covers, absorbent towels, syringes, umbilical cord clamps, and various drapes. The products are EO sterilized and packaged in polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents.

The recall was initiated because Customed determined that the packaging integrity may be compromised on different catalog numbers. This defect could result in product contamination or a loss of sterility condition, which poses a risk of injury to the patient.

The affected products were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States (specifically noting Florida, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands) and in the countries of Tortola, Trinidad, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and Mexico. Consumers and healthcare facilities should stop using these products and contact the manufacturer for instructions on return or replacement.
