Maquet Pediatric Extracorporeal Circulation Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific pediatric tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation because a design feature may prevent proper sterilization, potentially compromising sterility.

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 or illnesses in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling specific batches of Maquet Getinge-BEQ-T 4932 Mercy Adaptation Pk Pediatric tubing sets. These products are used for extracorporeal circulation (ECC). The recall is due to a potential issue with the sterilization process.

During sterilization, 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, meaning the sterility of the device is not guaranteed.

The affected products are identified by Batch Numbers 3000079888 and 3000081748. The distribution pattern is listed as nationwide. Healthcare providers and facilities should check their inventory for these specific batch numbers and stop using the affected units if found.
