EXP Pharmaceutical Services Recalls Unregistered Implantable Skin Staple Systems
EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp is recalling three units of implantable skin staple systems because the company failed to register as a medical device establishment or establish a quality system.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The source text identifies a regulatory compliance failure (lack of registration and quality system) rather than a specific product defect or reported injury. Per the rubric, this aligns with a moderate severity score for a Class II recall without reported adverse events.
Plain-English summary
EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp is recalling three units of the Tacker Skin 5mm Implantable Staple System. The recalled product is identified by OEM Catalog number 6206 and is packaged in a sterile, single-use Tyvek/Mylar pouch. The devices were distributed in the District of Columbia and the states of Colorado, California, Florida, Texas, and Arkansas.
The recall was initiated because EXP did not register as a medical device establishment with the FDA, did not list the devices being recalled, and did not establish its own quality system. Instead, the company relied on the fact that its vendors were registered and had their own quality systems. This failure to comply with regulatory requirements constitutes the basis for the recall.
Consumers and healthcare facilities that have received these specific units should stop using them and contact EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp for further instructions. The recall is limited to the three units described in the source text.
