Maquet Cardiovascular Recalls Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling 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 the sterility assurance level cannot be assured, posing a risk of harm (infection) without reported injuries, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC) (Maquet Getinge-BEQ-T 27904 3/8 TRANSPORT PACK, Material:701064804). The recall affects batch numbers 3000057680, 3000066687, 3000075125, 3000075898, and 3000080799. 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 during sterilization. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, which may compromise the sterility of the device.

Healthcare facilities and consumers who possess these specific batch numbers should stop using the products and contact Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC for further instructions on return or replacement.
