Plain-English summary
Maquet Medical Systems USA is recalling the BEQ-HMO 71000-USA / QUADROX-i Adult Oxygenator, a medical device used during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. The recall affects all lots nationwide.
The company identified two packaging defects: an accessory may be improperly placed during manufacturing, causing creases and damage to the sterile pouch; additionally, the product packaging may exhibit holes, cracks, dents, and crushed areas. Both defects compromise the sterile barrier of the packaging.
When the sterile barrier is compromised, non-sterile product may be exposed, creating risk of inflammation, infection, sepsis, and ischemia in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. If you or a family member is scheduled for or has recently undergone cardiopulmonary bypass surgery with this device, contact your healthcare provider or Maquet Medical Systems USA immediately for guidance.
