Maquet Getinge Custom Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation because the design may prevent sterilization gas from reaching all fluid paths.

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 infection (risk-of-harm product) without reported injuries, 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-BEQ-T 5915 TCH 3/8 Inch Change Kits (Material: 709000280) used for extracorporeal circulation. The recall involves batch numbers 3000071199 and 3000081153, which were 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. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured during the sterilization process.

Healthcare facilities and users of these devices should stop using the affected tubing sets and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions or replacement.
