Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 960 units of Universal Drainage Trays (Catalog number 900032) that were distributed only in Puerto Rico. The affected lots are 141015606 (exp. 3/31/16), 150318100 (exp. 4/30/16), and 150619057 (exp. 6/30/16). These trays are used by medical staff for surgical procedures and patient care tasks such as wound healing, suture removals, and wound irrigation.

The recall was initiated because of inadequate validation and qualification of sterilization processes, as well as package integrity issues for products released for distribution as sterile. This FDA Class II recall indicates that use of the product could create a temporary or medically reversible health risk, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

Medical facilities and consumers in Puerto Rico who possess these specific lots should stop using the trays and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal.
