There is no need to remove it from your devices.


However, what you should have done was erase your personal information from the iPod before you gave it away. If you did not do that, and the iPod is a Touch (which can be signed into your accounts, for example email and the iTunes Store), you will need to change the passwords on those accounts in order to prevent the new owner using the account.


Any music left on the iPod is not owned by the new owner, but again you don't need to worry too much about that, especially if you are unable to contact that person as there is little you can do about it now. Eventually the owner will need to erase it.
