Customed Recalls PERl GYN PACK Surgical Kits Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed, Inc. is recalling PERl GYN PACK surgical kits 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 surgical kits) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for potential contamination or loss of sterility.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 54 lots of PERl GYN PACK surgical kits, totaling 2,965 units. The recall was initiated because the company determined there is a possibility that the packaging integrity of these kits may be compromised. The affected products are EO sterilized surgical convenient packs packaged into polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents.

The compromised packaging integrity could result in product contamination or a loss of sterility condition. This poses a risk of injury to patients who use the products during surgical procedures. 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.

Healthcare facilities and distributors should stop using the affected PERl GYN PACK kits and contact Customed, Inc. for instructions on how to return or dispose of the products. Consumers should not use these products if they have them in their possession.
