Customed Recalls Orthopedic Surgical Packs Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed, Inc. is recalling Orthopedic 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. is recalling Orthopedic Pack I (2) Customed, product code 900-2503. The recall involves three specific lots (112051970, 112072732, and 113078528) totaling 600 units. These are EO sterilized surgical convenient packs packaged into polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents.

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 stop using these products and contact Customed, Inc. for further instructions.
