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 (loss of sterility/contamination) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical hazards in medical devices.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 47 lots of EO-sterilized Cesarean Packs (Product Code 900-660) due to a potential compromise in packaging integrity. The recalled items are surgical convenient packs packaged into polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents. The affected lots were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States (specifically Florida, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands) and in the countries of Tortola, Trinidad, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and Mexico.

The recall was initiated because there is a possibility that the packaging integrity may be compromised on different catalog numbers. This defect could result in an injury to the patient due to product contamination or the loss of the product's sterility condition. The source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries associated with this recall.

Healthcare facilities and consumers who have these specific lots should stop using the products and contact Customed, Inc. for further instructions or a return. The recall covers 5,560 units across the 47 identified lots.
