Maquet Getinge Custom Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns

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 is classified as FDA Class II and involves a risk of harm (compromised sterility) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling specific custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation (ECC). The affected products are identified by the description "Maquet Getinge-BEQ-T 44200 MAYO PULMONARY P Material: 701064831" and include batch numbers 3000066688 and 3000080800. The recall is classified as Class II by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The recall is due to a potential issue with the sterilization process. During sterilization, the closed stopcock and non-vented cap configuration may prevent the flow of humidity or 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 sterility of these specific components may be compromised.

The products were distributed nationwide. Healthcare facilities and users of these custom tubing sets should stop using the affected units and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions or replacement.
