Our severity reasoning: The source text identifies an FDA Class II recall involving a medical device where the Sterility Assurance Level cannot be assured. Per the rubric, FDA Class II recalls involving significant safety concerns like sterility failure are classified as Severe (Score 4), as they carry a risk of serious injury or death if the device is not sterile.
Plain-English summary
Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling specific batches of Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 38900 ECC Packs (Material: 701056368). The recall affects Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC) distributed nationwide. The affected batch numbers are 3000041396, 3000044053, 3000047317, 3000050887, 3000058131, 3000060487, 3000060723, 3000062458, 3000064724, 3000071815, and 3000071817.
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 between the closed port and the cap. This issue means the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured during the sterilization process.
Healthcare facilities and users of these devices should check their inventory for the listed batch numbers. If the affected products are found, they should be removed from service and returned to the manufacturer or disposed of according to local regulations. No specific instructions for end-users are provided in the source text, but medical professionals should verify the sterility status of any devices in use.
