Maquet Getinge Adult ECC Pack Recall Due to Sterility Assurance Concerns
Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling Adult ECC Packs because a design feature may prevent sterilization gas from reaching all fluid paths, potentially compromising sterility.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as a Class II recall. Per the rubric, FDA Class II recalls involving significant injury or hospitalization reports, or structural defects, are rated as Severe (4). While no specific injuries are reported in the text, the potential for non-sterile use in a critical surgical procedure (ECC) represents a significant risk of serious harm, aligning with the 'Severe' criteria for structural/functional defects in medical devices.
Plain-English summary
Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge-BO-TOP 36504 ADULT ECC PACKs (Material: 701065765) due to a potential sterility assurance issue. The recall affects specific batch numbers: 3000043680, 3000046039, 3000049205, 3000052613, 3000055536, and 3000062791. 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 between the closed port and the cap during sterilization. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, which could lead to the use of non-sterile equipment during extracorporeal circulation procedures.
Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected products immediately and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for instructions on return or replacement. The FDA has classified this as a Class II recall, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
