Customed Recalls Minor Laparotomy Packs Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed, Inc. is recalling Minor Laparotomy 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 (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 50 lots of Minor Laparotomy Packs, totaling 9,749 units. The recall was initiated because the company determined there is a possibility that the packaging integrity of these medical device packs may be compromised.

The affected products are EO sterilized surgical convenient packs packaged into polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents. The recall covers distribution in the United States (nationwide, including Florida, Puerto Rico, and USVI) as well as in Tortola, Trinidad, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and Mexico.

If the packaging integrity is compromised, it could result in an injury to the patient due to product contamination or the loss of the sterility condition. Consumers and healthcare facilities should stop using these products and contact the manufacturer for instructions on return or replacement.
