Customed, Inc. is recalling TRAATEK NEURO PACK surgical kits 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) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling the TRAATEK NEURO PACK, a sterile surgical convenient pack containing various medical supplies such as towels, gloves, syringes, and drapes. The recall involves one lot (131110141) with 50 units. The product is EO sterilized and packaged in a polyester/polyethylene breather bag with Tyvek double vents.

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.
