EXP Recalls Unregistered Stryker Femoral Canal Tips

EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp is recalling 12 Stryker Femoral Canal Tips because the company failed to register as a medical device establishment or maintain its own 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 driven by regulatory non-compliance (failure to register and establish a quality system) rather than a specific product defect or reported illness, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary or administrative recall.

Plain-English summary

EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp is recalling 12 units of Stryker Femoral Canal Tips (OEM Catalog number 210-8-N). These sterile, single-use medical 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, list the devices being recalled, or 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 necessitates the recall of the affected units.

Consumers and healthcare facilities should stop using these devices immediately and contact EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp for instructions on return or disposal. No specific illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source text, but the lack of proper registration and quality system oversight presents a regulatory and safety concern.
