Customed Recalls Surgical Packs Due to Potential Packaging Integrity Issues

Customed, Inc. is recalling specific lots of Total Hysterectomy surgical packs because packaging integrity may be compromised, posing a risk of 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) for a medical device, but the source text does not report any actual illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. has initiated a recall of specific lots of Total Hysterectomy surgical convenient packs. The recall involves product code 900-2415, specifically lot number 140412654. The affected products are EO sterilized surgical packs packaged in polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents.

The recall was issued because Customed determined there is a possibility that the packaging integrity may be compromised on different catalog numbers across multiple lots. This potential defect could result in product contamination or a loss of sterility condition, which may lead to injury to the patient.

The affected units were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States (specifically noting Florida, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands) and in the countries of Tortola, Trinidad, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and Mexico. According to the source, 6 units were placed on hold at the firm. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the affected products and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
