EXP Recalls PhysioMesh Surgical Mesh Due to Regulatory Non-Compliance

EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp is recalling two units of PhysioMesh surgical mesh 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 classified as FDA Class II. The source text identifies a regulatory and quality system compliance failure rather than a specific product defect or reported injury, aligning with the 'Moderate' severity criteria for minor or procedural issues.

Plain-English summary

EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp is recalling two units of PhysioMesh Flexible Composite Mesh (10cm x 15cm). The product is a sterile, single-use surgical mesh with OEM Catalog number PHY1015V, originally manufactured by Ethicon and repackaged by EXP.

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.

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