The True Cost of a Recall: More Than Just Dollars

The True Cost of a Recall: More Than Just Dollars

A Closer Look at the Real Impact of Recalls

A recent recall event illuminated a staggering truth: a recall can cost a company over a billion dollars. However, when we take a moment to truly understand this information, we realize that the real cost isn’t solely financial. The human suffering and impact that those billions of dollars represent are immense and often go unacknowledged.

My Journey in the Medical Device Industry

With over 18 years of dedication to the medical device industry, including six years as a lead auditor for notified bodies, I chose biomedical engineering with a single purpose: to help people. Our industry often intersects with lives at their most vulnerable moments—when individuals are sick and in desperate need of accurate diagnoses, effective treatments, and healing. Every medical device we create is expected to perform its intended function flawlessly.

Our Duty to Ensure Safety and Quality


Given the profound impact our products and services have on human lives, it is our duty to mitigate risks and ensure our quality management systems (QMS) are both effective and consistently implemented. This stability is crucial for producing products that reliably meet the stringent requirements of our industry.

The Power of Audits in Maintaining Standards

One of the most powerful tools we have for maintaining high standards is our internal audit process, along with audits of our critical vendors. The depth, time, planning, and quality of resources dedicated to this process always yield a significant return on investment, ensuring that we meet and exceed the necessary standards for safety and effectiveness.

Our Expert Team

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with some of the most talented and knowledgeable QA/RA experts in the industry. Many of these professionals are now part of my team. If my areas of expertise do not fully meet your requirements, I will ensure that the audits are performed by the best professionals in the field. This is my personal warranty to you.

Partner with Us

Allow me to bring my 18 years of experience in the medical device industry to your organization. Let me be your eyes, assessing your Quality Management System (QMS) and your vendors’ QMS with the same diligence I employed as a certified lead auditor. Together, we can determine your level of compliance and conformance to applicable requirements, ultimately helping to reduce potential human impact.
