Customed Recalls Premium Arthroscopy Packs Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed, Inc. is recalling Premium Arthroscopy 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 'High' severity criteria for potential contamination or loss of sterility.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. has initiated a recall of its Premium Arthroscopy Packs. The recall involves 15 lots and 860 units of the product, which includes various surgical supplies such as arthroscopy sheets, gowns, towels, and surgical blades. The products are EO sterilized and packaged in polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents.

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

The affected products 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. Consumers and healthcare facilities should stop using these products and contact Customed, Inc. for further instructions or a return.
