Customed Recalls Open Heart Surgical Trays Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

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 (injury due to contamination or loss of sterility) for a medical device, but the source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. has initiated a recall of Open Heart Tray, Pack A, code 900-1196C. The recall involves 25 lots totaling 493 units. The product consists of EO sterilized surgical convenient packs packaged into polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents, containing various surgical drapes, towels, and gowns.
