Customed Recalls Laparoscopy Chole System Packs Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed, Inc. is recalling specific lots of Laparoscopy Chole System 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 criteria for a High severity score.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. has initiated a recall of the Laparoscopy Chole System Pack, specifically product code 900-2270,1 and lot 112125073. The recall involves one lot containing 60 units. The affected products are EO sterilized surgical convenient packs packaged into polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents.
