The Risk Is Already On Your Shelves

Three costs of catching it too late

Expired

7–10%

of clinical products expire on hospital shelves before being used.

Recalled

Class I device recalls in 2025 — the most serious type, for devices that could lead to death or injury.

FDA, via Medscape, 2026

About 1,100 device recalls were issued in total in 2025, and it was the fifth straight year of increases in Class I recalls. (FDA, via Medscape, 2026)

Wasted

$90K

One large hospital system found more than $1 million in expired stock during a single inventory count. (GHX, 2024)

Most facilities still catch all three the same way: someone remembers to check, or they don’t. The longer that takes, the longer a bad device stays in circulation, and the more expired stock quietly piles up waiting to be written off. When a recall notice lands, teams are often cross-checking spreadsheets and paper logs by hand while the clock is running.

Device Malfunction

Roughly 1 in 5 adverse event reports filed to the FDA’s MAUDE database has led to a recall or other corrective action. (Journal of Global Clinical Engineering, 2023)

Facility Liability

Liability doesn’t stop with the device maker. A facility that continued using a device after a recall notice went out faces its own exposure, and its own insurance and legal costs.

What This Looks Like On The Floor

The check nobody has time for

Based on what we’ve seen doing this ourselves, not a formal study.

A recall notice usually lists lot or serial numbers, not device names. Finding out whether you're holding one means someone walking the supply room with a printed list, holding it up to shelf labels box by box, hoping they don’t miss one tucked in the back.

Expiration checks, or “outdating,” work the same way: someone with a clipboard, pulling stock forward, squinting at dates printed in a different spot and a different format depending on the manufacturer. It’s slow, it’s easy to misread, and a single missed shelf undoes the whole pass.

The real cost isn’t the minutes it takes. It’s that a check which depends on someone having free time gets skipped during a busy week, and a skipped check is the same as no check at all.

It also wears on people. Skilled staff end up spending real hours on repetitive, error-prone checks instead of patient care, the kind of work that’s easy to resent and easy to burn out on.

We’ve Stood In That Supply Closet

Built by people who did this the hard way

We spent years doing inventory by hand — checking dates box by box and hoping we hadn’t missed one. AI-powered scanning finally made it possible to do the same check in seconds instead of hours.

1

99% accuracy reading barcodes, QR codes, and printed expiration dates through your phone’s camera.

2

Natural language processing reads expiration labels correctly even when formats vary by manufacturer.

3

Continuously updated recall and expiration data, so every scan reflects the latest status.

How It Works

Three steps, one scan

01

Scan

Point your phone’s camera at the device’s barcode, QR code, or printed label.

02

Get instant status

VerifyDI checks the device against expiration and recall data and gives you a clear answer: safe to use, expired, or recalled.

03

Act with confidence

Remove or replace flagged devices immediately, with a record you can show for compliance.

Stop guessing. Start scanning.
