Customed Recalls Umbilical Vessel Catheter Kits Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed, Inc. is recalling specific lots of Umbilical Vessel Catheter Kits because packaging integrity may be compromised, potentially leading to product contamination or 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 source text explicitly identifies the recall as 'Class I' by the agency. According to the severity rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I, the score must never go below 4, resulting in a 'Severe' label.
