Plain-English summary
Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling the Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 5208 ECC SET CARDIAC (Material: 701067350). The recall affects specific batch numbers: 3000044413, 3000049064, 3000050885, 3000054157, 3000058832, 3000062461, and 3000065084. The product 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 sterilization. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, creating a potential risk of non-sterile components being used in extracorporeal circulation procedures.
Healthcare facilities and users should identify any affected units by checking the batch numbers listed above. Users should stop using the affected products and contact Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC for further instructions on return or replacement.
