Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling specific custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation (ECC) under FDA recall number Z-1633-2019. The affected product is the Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 22600 ECC QUADROX iD 3/8, with material number 701049440R02. The recall involves batch number 3000076147 and was 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 the sterilization process. 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 specific tubing sets should stop using the affected units and contact Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC for instructions on return or replacement. This recall is classified as FDA Class II, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
