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: This is a Class II medical device recall affecting devices used in critical cardiac procedures. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the recall addresses a risk-of-harm situation where sterile barrier compromise could lead to infection or sepsis. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported score 3 (High).

Plain-English summary

Maquet Medical Systems USA is recalling approximately 8,670 HMOD 70000-USA/QUADROX-iD Adult oxygenators (Item no. 701067840) used in cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. The devices were distributed nationwide in the United States and include all manufacturing lots (UDI-DI: 04058863019000).

An accessory may be improperly placed during packaging, causing creases and damage to the sterile pouch. Additionally, product packaging may exhibit holes, cracks, dents, and crushed areas. Both defects can compromise the sterile barrier, potentially exposing the device to non-sterile conditions.

Exposure to non-sterile product may result in inflammation, infection, sepsis, and ischemia. Healthcare facilities that received this device should verify their inventory and contact Maquet Medical Systems USA for further guidance on replacement or return.
