Maquet Cardiovascular Recalls Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation because a design flaw may prevent sterilization gas from reaching all parts of the device.

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, but the source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC). The recall involves specific batch numbers 3000044290 and 3000046395, with a material code of 709000266. The products were distributed nationwide.

The recall is being 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 the sterilization process. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, meaning the devices may not be fully sterile.

Healthcare facilities and users of these specific tubing sets should stop using the affected products and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions on how to handle the recall.
