EXP Recalls PhysioMesh Surgical Mesh Due to Registration Violations

EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp is recalling 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, but the source text identifies the cause as administrative non-compliance (failure to register and maintain quality systems) rather than a specific product defect or reported injury, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary recall.

Plain-English summary

EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp is recalling PhysioMesh Flexible Composite Mesh 15 x 15cm, a sterile, single-use surgical mesh. The product is identified by OEM Catalog number PHY1515Q and was repackaged by EXP with Ethicon 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 its vendors being registered and having 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 the recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal.
