Customed Recalls Neuro Spine Packs Due to Potential Packaging Integrity Issues

Customed, Inc. is recalling Neuro Spine 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 (injury due to contamination or loss of sterility) in a medical device, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 20 lots of Neuro Spine Packs, totaling 800 units, due to a potential compromise in packaging integrity. The affected product is an EO sterilized surgical convenient pack containing various surgical instruments and supplies, packaged in a polyester/polyethylene breather bag with Tyvek double vents.

The recall is being issued because the compromised packaging 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. Users should stop using the affected products and contact Customed, Inc. for instructions on return or replacement.
