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, creating a risk of infection or harm. Per the rubric, this is classified as High (3) because it is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC), specifically the Maquet Getinge-BEQ-T 8506 Transport Pack (Material: 709000146). The recall involves Batch Number 3000075713, which was 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 between the closed port and the cap during sterilization. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, meaning the product may not be sterile.

Healthcare facilities and users of these transport packs should stop using the affected units immediately. Users should contact Maquet Cardiovascular for instructions on how to return or dispose of the recalled products.
