Maquet Getinge ECC Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns
Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific batches of Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation because a design feature may prevent sterilization gas from reaching all parts of the device.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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 sterility cannot be assured, posing a risk of infection or harm, but the source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries, 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) (Material: 701062473). The affected batch numbers are 3000045173, 3000046396, and 3000046746. 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 between the closed port and the cap during sterilization. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured.
Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected products and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions on the recall.
