Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 5900 3/8 Quadrox iD Pack w/BB custom tubing sets used for extracorporeal circulation. The recall is due to a potential defect in 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.

The affected products are identified by the following batch numbers: 3000048233, 3000048397, 3000054333, 3000058183, 3000069469, and 3000074100. The material number is 701050228. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.

Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected tubing sets and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions on returns or replacements. The source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries associated with this recall.
