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. The hazard involves a risk of harm (infection) from non-sterile medical devices, but the source text does not report any 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. is recalling 24 units of the Tummy Tuck & Breast Pack-RFMHI (6/CS). These medical devices are used by medical staff to perform surgical procedures and patient care procedures, such as wound healing, suture removals, and wound irrigation. The specific lot number is 141015586, with an expiration date of 11/30/15.

The recall was initiated because of inadequate validation and qualification of the sterilization processes, as well as issues with package integrity for products that were released for distribution as sterile. This means the devices may not be sterile as intended.

The affected products were distributed only in Puerto Rico. Consumers and medical facilities should stop using these products and contact the recalling firm for further instructions.
