Customed Incision and Drainage Trays Recalled for Sterilization Defects

Customed, Inc. is recalling 1,050 Incision and Drainage Trays distributed in Puerto Rico due to inadequate validation of sterilization processes and package integrity.

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 medical device with a defect in sterilization validation, which poses a risk of harm (infection) even though no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text. This aligns with the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 1,050 units of Incision and Drainage Trays (Code 900774). These trays are used by medical staff to perform surgical procedures and patient care procedures such as wound healing, suture removals, and wound irrigation. The affected lots are 150116965 (exp. 2/28/16) and 150317658 (exp. 3/31/16).

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 defect means the products may not be sterile as intended.

The affected products were distributed only in Puerto Rico. Medical facilities and consumers who possess these specific lots should stop using them and contact the recalling firm for further instructions.
