Customed Recalls Neuro Pack Surgical Kits Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed, Inc. is recalling 936 units of NEURO 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 (loss of sterility/contamination) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical hazards without confirmed illness.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 36 lots of NEURO PACK surgical kits, totaling 936 units, due to a potential compromise in packaging integrity. The affected product is an EO sterilized surgical convenient pack containing various instruments, drapes, and supplies, packaged in a polyester/polyethylene breather bag with Tyvek double vents.

The recall was initiated because the compromised packaging could result in product contamination or a loss of sterility condition. This poses a risk of injury to patients if the non-sterile or contaminated products are used 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. Users should stop using the affected lots and contact Customed, Inc. for instructions on return or replacement.
