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 is classified as FDA Class II and involves a risk-of-harm product (sterile medical device) where the hazard is theoretical (inadequate sterilization validation) and no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 1,248 Wound Management Trays (Code 9001154) that were distributed exclusively in Puerto Rico. The affected lots are 150116957 and 150217256, both with an expiration date of February 28, 2016. These trays are used by medical staff for surgical procedures and patient care, including wound healing, suture removals, and wound irrigation.

The recall was initiated because of inadequate validation and qualification of the sterilization processes and package integrity for these products, which were released for distribution as sterile. This classification indicates a potential risk that the products may not be sterile as intended.

Medical facilities and consumers in Puerto Rico who possess these specific trays should stop using them and contact Customed, Inc. for further instructions or a return. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has classified this recall as Class II, meaning there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
