Custom Medical Specialties is recalling Custom Vein Trays containing Povidone Iodine Prep Solution because the product lacked required microbial testing and failed specifications.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class I
Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "The firm saw on the FDA web site a recall by the manufacturer of the Povidone Iodine Prep Solution due to no microbial testing and product did not meet proper finished goods specifications."
