Customed Recalls ACDFPACK Surgical Center Packs Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed is recalling ACDFPACK Surgical Center packs 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…"

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling ACDFPACK Surgical Center packs (Code 900-2917) due to a potential compromise in packaging integrity. The recall involves 6 lots totaling 180 units. The affected product is an EO sterilized surgical convenient pack packaged in a polyester/polyethylene breather bag with Tyvek double vents.
