Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC) with the material number 701051179. The affected products are identified by batch numbers 3000045170, 3000058051, 3000062455, and 3000065508. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA.

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 during the sterilization process. This issue means that the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, creating a potential risk of non-sterile components.

The affected products were distributed nationwide. Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected tubing sets and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for instructions on how to return or replace the products.
