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 harm (infection) without reported injuries, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling the Maquet Getinge BEQ-TOP 24100 Small Patient ECC Pack (Material: 701050175R02). The recall involves specific batch numbers: 3000041467, 3000050581, 3000055641, 3000060358, 3000067467, 3000073974, and 3000083165. The product was distributed nationwide.

The recall is due to a potential defect in the sterilization process. 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. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured.

Healthcare facilities and users of these custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation should stop using the affected units. Users should contact Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC for further instructions on how to proceed with the recall.
