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 risk-of-harm product (potential lack of sterility in a medical device) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC). The affected product is identified as Maquet Getinge-BEQ-T 9409 Lurie Chlds Large 3/8, Material 709000428. The recall covers specific batch numbers: 3000061513, 3000071803, 3000075279, and 3000077546. The products 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 during sterilization. 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 devices should stop using the affected tubing sets and contact Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC for instructions on return or replacement. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries associated with this recall.
