Plain-English summary
Customed, Inc. is recalling 3,180 units of Fanfold Drapes (44"x58, 60/CS) under FDA recall number Z-2695-2015. These medical drapes 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 the sterilization processes and package integrity for products that were released for distribution as sterile. This defect means the products may not be sterile as intended, which could lead to patient infection if used.
The affected products were distributed only in Puerto Rico. Specific lot numbers and expiration dates are listed in the structured product information. Consumers and medical facilities should stop using these products and contact the manufacturer or their supplier for instructions on return or replacement.
