Customed Recalls Orthopedic Implant Packs Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed, Inc. is recalling 180 units of Orthopedic Implant Packs (Code 900-2903) 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 voluntarily recalling 180 units of Orthopedic Implant Packs, catalog code 900-2903. The recall involves four specific lots: 113026303, 113057705, 113068034, and 113088858. These products are EO sterilized surgical convenient packs packaged in polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents.

The recall was initiated because Customed determined there is a possibility that packaging integrity may be compromised on these units. This defect could result in product contamination or a loss of sterility 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. Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using these specific lots and contact Customed, Inc. for further instructions or replacement.
