Maquet Getinge-BO-TOP 26300 Custom Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Issues

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation because a design configuration may prevent proper sterilization, potentially compromising sterility.

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 risk-of-harm product (medical device) where the sterility assurance level cannot be verified, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge-BO-TOP 26300 CUSTOM PACK tubing sets (Material: 701050975) used for extracorporeal circulation. The recall involves specific batch numbers: 3000043848, 3000050583, 3000050645, 3000053626, and 3000054146. The products were 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 during sterilization. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, which poses a risk of non-sterile medical devices being used in patient care.

Healthcare facilities and users should identify any affected units by checking the batch numbers listed above. Users should stop using the affected tubing sets and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions regarding the recall.
