Maquet Getinge Small Adult Cardiac Surgery Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific Small Adult Cardiac Surgery Tubing Sets because a design flaw may prevent proper sterilization, potentially compromising sterility.

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 risk-of-harm product (sterile medical device) where the hazard is a potential failure of sterilization, but no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge-BO-T 2303 Small Adult Cardiac Surgery Material (Material: 709000004). The recall affects batch numbers 3000045083 and 3000046399, which were distributed nationwide.

The recall was issued 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, meaning the devices may not be sterile.

Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using these specific tubing sets immediately. Users should contact Maquet Cardiovascular for instructions on how to return or replace the affected products.
