Customed Recalls Cardiovascular Case Carts Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed, Inc. is recalling 48 units of Cirugia Cardiovascular Case Carts 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 medical device) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria for potential contamination or loss of sterility.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 48 units of the Cirugia Cardiovascular Case Cart, code 900-1415A. The recall involves 7 specific lots of these EO sterilized surgical convenient packs, which are packaged into 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 different catalog numbers. This defect could result in an injury to the patient due to product contamination or the loss of the product's sterility condition.

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. Consumers and healthcare facilities should stop using these products and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or replacement.
