Maquet Getinge Neonatal Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific neonatal tubing sets because a design feature may prevent sterilization gas from reaching all parts, 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 involves a medical device where the Sterility Assurance Level cannot be assured, creating a risk of infection. This fits the 'High' severity criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 2202 NEONATAL SPECIALT Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC). The recall involves specific batch numbers 3000041407 and 3000069806, which were distributed nationwide.

The recall is due to a potential issue with the closed stopcock/non-vented cap configuration. During the sterilization process, this configuration may prevent the flow of humidity and ethylene oxide gas into the fluid path between the closed port and the non-vented cap. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, meaning the sterility of these specific components is not guaranteed.

Healthcare facilities and users of these products should stop using the affected tubing sets and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions on how to proceed.
