EXP Recalls 6.0mm Round Fluted Bur Due to Registration Deficiencies

EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp is recalling 5 units of 6.0mm Round Fluted Bur Soft Touch because the company failed to register as a medical device establishment or establish its own quality system.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is driven by administrative and regulatory non-compliance (failure to register and establish a quality system) rather than a physical defect or reported health hazard. Per the rubric, documentation and registration issues are classified as Low severity.

Plain-English summary

EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp is recalling 5 units of the 6.0mm Round Fluted Bur Soft Touch, a sterile, single-use medical device. The product is identified by OEM Catalog number 5820-10-160 and was repackaged by EXP with Stryker as the original equipment manufacturer.

The recall was initiated because EXP did not register as a medical device establishment, 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 constitutes a regulatory compliance failure rather than a reported product defect or safety incident.

The affected units were distributed in the District of Columbia and the states of Colorado, California, Florida, Texas, and Arkansas. Consumers and healthcare facilities should stop using the product and contact EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp for further instructions.
