Maquet Custom Tubing Sets Recalled Due to Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation because a design flaw may prevent proper sterilization of stopcock ports.

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, posing a risk of harm (infection) even though no specific illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC), specifically the Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 31204 CUSTOM PACK PEDI (Material: 701065512). The recall affects batch number 3000056132 and was 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 the sterilization process. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, potentially compromising the sterility of the device.

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