Maquet Getinge Custom Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation because a design feature may prevent sterilization gas from reaching all parts of the fluid path.

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 medical device where the Sterility Assurance Level cannot be assured, creating a risk of harm from potential contamination, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 25001 MONTEFIORE custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation. The recall involves batch numbers 3000054551 and 3000065085. These products were distributed nationwide.

The recall is due to a potential issue with 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.

Healthcare facilities and users of these devices should stop using the affected tubing sets and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions.
