Customed Recalls Breast Pack MRT Surgical Kits Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed, Inc. is recalling 306 units of Breast Pack MRT surgical kits because packaging integrity may be compromised, potentially leading to 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…"

Customed, Inc. is recalling 306 units of Breast Pack MRT surgical kits, code 900-2658. The recall involves three specific lots: 112062217, 112093595, and 112093720. These kits contain various surgical items, including bulb syringes, gowns, cautery pencils, syringes, needle counters, utility bowls, and drapes.

The recall was initiated because the company determined there is a possibility that the packaging integrity of these kits may be compromised. This defect could result in product contamination or a loss of sterility, which poses a risk of injury to patients. The affected products were distributed worldwide, including in the United States (nationwide, specifically 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 who have these specific lots should stop using the products and contact Customed, Inc. for further instructions on how to return or dispose of the recalled items.
