Maquet Getinge Custom Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns

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

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 sterility cannot be assured, but the source text does not report any injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical risk without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge-BO-TOP 30300 custom tubing sets used for extracorporeal circulation. The recall involves specific batch numbers: 3000043293, 3000045086, 3000050830, and 3000058048. The product was distributed nationwide.

The recall is due to a potential defect in the sterilization process. 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. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, meaning the devices may not be sterile.

Healthcare facilities and users of these specific tubing sets should stop using the affected units immediately. They should contact Maquet Cardiovascular for instructions on how to return or dispose of the recalled products.
