Customed Recalls Laparoscopy Packs Due to Potential Packaging Integrity Issues

Customed, Inc. is recalling specific lots of Laparoscopy Pack I surgical 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 (sterile surgical packs) 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 its Laparoscopy Pack I (4) surgical packs. The recall involves two specific lots, identified by codes 112051964 and 113078524, totaling 612 units. The affected products are EO sterilized surgical convenient packs packaged into polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents.

The recall was issued because Customed determined there is a possibility that the packaging integrity of these packs may be compromised. If the packaging is not intact, 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 noting Florida, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands) and in the countries of Tortola, Trinidad, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and Mexico. Healthcare facilities and consumers should check their inventory for these specific lot numbers and stop using the affected products if found.
