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 sterility cannot be assured, posing a risk of infection (high-risk pathogen exposure) without reported illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling the Maquet Getinge-BEQ-T 9403 Small Patient Tubing Pack (Material: 701049994). The recall involves specific batch numbers: 3000041414, 3000047036, 3000050575, and 3000051657. The product was distributed nationwide.
The recall is due to a potential issue with the sterilization process. The closed stopcock and non-vented cap configuration may prevent humidity and ethylene oxide gas from reaching the fluid path between the closed port and the cap. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) for the stopcock ports cannot be assured, meaning the sterility of these components is not guaranteed.
Healthcare facilities and consumers should check their inventory for the affected batch numbers. If the product is found, it should be removed from use and returned to the manufacturer or disposed of according to local regulations. No specific instructions for end-users are provided in the source text beyond the identification of the defect.
