Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation (ECC) under FDA recall number Z-1634-2019. The affected product is the Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 21502 ECC Quadrox iD w/RF 3/8" (Material: 701050060R01), specifically batch number 3000079889. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA.

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, meaning the device may not be fully sterile.

The affected products were distributed nationwide. Healthcare facilities and users of these devices should stop using the affected tubing sets and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions on return or replacement.
