Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 5103 CPS Tubing Pack Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific tubing packs for extracorporeal circulation because a design feature may prevent sterilization gas from reaching all fluid paths, 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. This aligns with the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling the Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 5103 CPS Tubing Pack (Material: 701048690R01). The recall affects batch numbers 3000077756 and 3000078014. These 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 between the closed port and the cap during sterilization. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured.

Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using these specific tubing packs and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions or a replacement.
