Plain-English summary
Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling specific batches of Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 15704 Circulatory Circuits 3/8" (Material: 701050859). The affected products are identified by the following batch numbers: 3000047911, 3000054555, 3000062794, 3000071204, 3000072306, and 3000076555. The recall is classified as Class II by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The recall is being issued 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 the sterilization process. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, which poses a potential risk of infection if the product is used.
These products were distributed nationwide. Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected circulatory circuits and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for instructions on how to return the products. No specific dates or quantities are provided in the source text.
