Maquet Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Packs Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Packs because a design flaw may prevent proper sterilization of the 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 potential failure to assure sterility in a medical device used for cardiac surgery, which poses a risk of harm (infection) even though no specific injuries are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling the Maquet Getinge-BO-T 2302 Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Pack (Material: 709000006). The recall affects batch number 3000059175, which was distributed nationwide.

The recall was initiated because the closed stopcock and non-vented cap configuration may prevent humidity and ethylene oxide gas from reaching 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.

Healthcare facilities should stop using the affected products and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions.
