Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 25500 ECC Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Issues

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation because the design may prevent proper sterilization gas flow, compromising sterility.

What this means for you

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

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the failure to assure sterility in a device used for extracorporeal circulation poses a significant risk of serious injury or infection, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC), specifically the Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 25500 ECC 3/8 w/QiD model (Material: 701052461). The affected batch numbers are 3000065224 and 3000074124. 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 the sterilization process. This potential blockage means the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, creating a risk that the devices may not be sterile when used.

Healthcare facilities and users of these specific tubing sets should stop using the affected batches immediately and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions on replacement or return.
