Maquet Getinge Custom Tubing Sets Recalled Due to Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation because a design feature may prevent proper sterilization, potentially compromising sterility.

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 the sterility assurance level cannot be guaranteed, posing a risk of infection or harm to patients, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling specific custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation (ECC) manufactured by Maquet Getinge. The affected products are identified by the material number 701052461R01 and batch number 3000079891. The recall is nationwide.

The recall was initiated because the closed stopcock and non-vented cap configuration on these devices 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) for the stopcock ports cannot be assured, which may compromise the sterility of the device.

Healthcare facilities and users of these specific tubing sets should stop using the affected units and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions on how to proceed with the recall.
