Maquet Getinge-BO-TOP Custom Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific 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 the Sterility Assurance Level cannot be assured, creating a risk of harm from potential non-sterility, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge-BO-TOP 35503 SGD PACK custom tubing sets used for extracorporeal circulation. The recall affects batch numbers 3000056047, 3000058250, and 3000066199, which 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 during sterilization. This potential blockage means the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, creating a risk that the device may not be sterile when used.

Healthcare facilities and users of these specific tubing sets should stop using the affected units and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions on replacement or return.
