Maquet Getinge Custom Tubing Sets Recalled Due to Sterility Assurance Concerns
Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation because a design feature 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 risk-of-harm product (medical device) where sterility cannot be assured, but the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical risk without reported harm.
Plain-English summary
Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 31203 CUSTOM PACK NEO tubing sets used for extracorporeal circulation. The recall is due to a potential defect 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.
The affected products are identified by the following batch numbers: 3000050481, 3000052617, 3000054413, 3000054961, and 3000055976. The distribution pattern is listed as nationwide. The source text does not specify the number of units affected or report any illnesses or injuries associated with this recall.
Healthcare facilities and users should check their inventory for these specific batch numbers. If the affected products are found, they should be removed from service and returned to the manufacturer or disposed of according to local regulations. Users should contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions or replacement units.
