Maquet Getinge Adult Custom Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling Adult Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation because a design feature 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. This fits the 'High' severity criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge-BEQ-T 27602 709000417 Adult Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation. The recall involves batch number 3000061104, which was distributed nationwide.

The recall is due to a potential issue with the sterilization process. The closed stopcock and non-vented cap configuration may prevent humidity and ethylene oxide gas from flowing 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.

Healthcare facilities and consumers who have these specific tubing sets should stop using them and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions.
