Maquet Getinge ECC Tubing Sets Recalled Due to Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific batches of Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation because a design feature 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 is classified as FDA Class II and involves a risk of harm (infection due to non-sterile medical devices) where no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling specific batches of Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC), identified by the product name Maquet Getinge-BEQ-T 8805 ECC PACK and material number 701053361. The affected batch numbers are 3000071966, 3000074121, 3000075280, and 3000077082. The recall is classified as Class II by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The recall was initiated because the closed stopcock and non-vented cap configuration of the tubing sets may prevent the flow of humidity and ethylene oxide gas into the fluid path during the sterilization process. This potential blockage means that the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) for the stopcock ports cannot be assured, creating a risk that the devices may not be sterile when used.

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