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 to ensure sterility in a medical device used for extracorporeal circulation, which poses a risk of infection or other adverse health consequences, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge-BEQ-T 37305 1/4+3/8 TABLE LINE custom tubing sets used for extracorporeal circulation. The recall is due to a potential defect in the sterilization process. Specifically, 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. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured.

The affected products are identified by the following batch numbers: 3000066690, 3000072826, and 3000080852. The material number is 701067577. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA, indicating a situation where use of, or exposure to, the violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

Healthcare facilities and distributors should stop using the affected tubing sets and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for instructions on return or replacement. Consumers are not directly affected as these are professional medical devices.
