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 the defect (inadequate sterilization) presents a theoretical risk of infection, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Customed, Inc. is recalling 33 units of the Breast Pack-TPSC (Lot 141015600, exp. 10/31/15). These medical packs are used by staff for surgical procedures and patient care, including wound healing and suture removals. The recall is limited to products distributed in Puerto Rico.
The recall was initiated because of inadequate validation and qualification of sterilization processes, as well as package integrity issues for products released as sterile. This defect raises the risk that the products may not be sterile when used.
Healthcare facilities and consumers who have these specific units should stop using them and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal.
