Maquet Getinge Adult ECC Pack Recall Due to Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling Adult ECC Packs because a design feature may prevent sterilization gas from reaching all fluid paths, 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 medical device where sterility cannot be assured, posing a risk of harm (infection) without reported illnesses, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge-BO-TOP 28903 Adult ECC Packs (Material: 709000093). The recall involves specific batch numbers: 3000045728, 3000051160, and 3000058050. The products were distributed nationwide.

The recall was initiated because the closed stopcock/non-vented cap configuration on the custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation may prevent the flow of humidity and ethylene oxide gas into the fluid path between the closed port and the non-vented cap. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured.

Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected products and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions or replacement. No specific illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source text.
