Maquet Pediatric Oxygenator Recalled for Incorrect Coating Labels on Packaging

Maquet is recalling 28 units of Quadrox-ID Pediatric Diffusion Membrane Oxygenators because the cartons and shipping containers incorrectly display Softline coating labels instead of Bioline.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

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 issue as a labeling error on the packaging (cartons and shipping containers) rather than the device itself, and no injuries or illnesses are reported. This aligns with the rubric for minor labeling errors or low-risk issues.
