EXP Pharmaceutical Services Recalls TAUT Intraducer Peritoneal Catheters

EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp is recalling TAUT Intraducer Peritoneal Catheters because the company failed to register as a medical device establishment or maintain its own quality system.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which indicates a situation where use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The rubric assigns a score of 3 to high-risk products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp is recalling six units of TAUT Intraducer Peritoneal Catheters (2mm x 1.6mm x 7.6cm) and associated sterile pouches. The devices are identified by OEM Catalog number PI-63 and were repackaged by EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp.

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. This is classified as an FDA Class II recall.

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 these devices and contact EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp for further instructions.
