Customed Recalls VEIN PACK Surgical Kits Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed, Inc. is recalling specific lots of VEIN PACK surgical kits because packaging integrity may be compromised, potentially leading to loss of sterility.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4 according to the rubric, despite the hazard being a potential loss of sterility rather than a reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. has initiated a recall of VEIN PACK surgical convenient packs. The affected products are EO sterilized and packaged in polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents. The recall involves three specific lots (109050994, 110020540, 110081960) totaling 48 units. These products were distributed nationwide in the United States, including Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, as well as in Tortola, Trinidad, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and Mexico.

The recall was issued because Customed determined there is a possibility that the packaging integrity may be compromised. This defect could result in product contamination or a loss of the sterile condition, which poses a risk of injury to patients. The agency has classified this recall as Class I.

Healthcare facilities and distributors should stop using the affected lots immediately. Users should check their inventory for the specific lot numbers listed above and contact Customed, Inc. for further instructions on how to return or dispose of the recalled products.
