EXP Recalls Unregistered Surgical Routers for Crani-A Procedures

EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp is recalling four surgical routers 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 is driven by regulatory and documentation failures (lack of registration and quality system) rather than a specific physical defect or reported injury, fitting the 'Moderate' criteria for minor labeling/documentation issues.

Plain-English summary

EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp is recalling four units of the 2.15MMX22MM Fluted Spiral Router for CRANI-A. The product is a sterile, single-use surgical bur distributed in Tyvek/Mylar pouches. The OEM catalog number is A-CRN-S, and the original manufacturer is Anspach.

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 its vendors being registered and having their own quality systems. The agency has classified this recall as Class II.

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.
