Customed Recalls Surgical Packs Due to Potential Packaging Integrity Issues

Customed is recalling 567 units of 08 PAD PACK II surgical packs because packaging integrity may be compromised, risking product contamination or loss of sterility.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class I

Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "Customed has determined that there is the possibility that packaging integrity may be compromised on different catalog numbers (multiple lots). This could result in an injury to the patient due to product contamination or loss of sterility…"

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 567 units of the 08 PAD PACK II surgical convenient packs. The recall involves three specific lots with product code 900-2464 and lot numbers 112020343, 112051958, and 112083317. These packs contain various surgical items, including towels, gowns, drapes, and umbilical cord clamps, and are EO sterilized.

The recall was initiated because Customed determined there is a possibility that the packaging integrity may be compromised on these units. If the packaging is compromised, it could result in product contamination or a loss of the sterile condition, which poses a risk of injury to patients.

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. Users should check their inventory for the specific lot numbers listed and contact Customed for instructions on how to return or dispose of the affected products.
