Maquet Getinge ECC Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns
Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific ECC tubing sets 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 is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves a potential failure of sterilization (SAL not assured) for a medical device used in extracorporeal circulation, which poses a risk of infection or harm, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 27609 ECC PACK 1/4" tubing sets used for extracorporeal circulation. The recall involves specific batch numbers: 3000044419, 3000045727, and 3000065141. The products were distributed nationwide.
The recall is due to a potential failure in the sterilization process. The closed stopcock and non-vented cap configuration may prevent humidity and ethylene oxide gas from reaching the fluid path between the closed port and the cap. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) for 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. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences.
