Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation because a design flaw 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 involves a medical device where sterility cannot be assured, creating a risk of harm (infection) even though no injuries or illnesses have been reported yet, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC), specifically the Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 41200 ECC 1/4 PUMP PAC (Material: 701063149). The recall affects units with Batch Number 3000064725 that were distributed nationwide.

The recall is due to a potential sterilization defect. During 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, meaning the devices may not be sterile.

Healthcare facilities and users of these specific tubing sets should stop using the affected units and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions on replacement or return. The source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries associated with this recall.
