Maquet Getinge Extracorporeal Circulation Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns
Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific batches of Getinge-BEQ-T 8803#Circ Circuit Small Patient tubing sets because the sterilization process may not ensure sterility in the stopcock ports.
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 involves a medical device where the Sterility Assurance Level cannot be assured, creating a risk of infection. This fits the 'High' severity criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge-BEQ-T 8803#Circ Circuit Small Patient tubing sets (Material: 701048539) used for extracorporeal circulation. The recall affects specific batch numbers: 3000043059, 3000051269, 3000067520, 3000072508, and 3000080853. The product was distributed nationwide.
The recall was initiated because the closed stopcock and non-vented cap configuration may prevent the flow of humidity and ethylene oxide gas into the fluid path between the closed port and the cap during sterilization. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured.
Healthcare facilities and users of these specific tubing sets should stop using the affected batches and contact Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC for further instructions on replacement or return.
