Maquet Getinge ECC Tubing Sets Recalled Due to Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling BEQ-TOP 32200 ECC Packs because a design flaw may prevent sterilization gas from reaching all fluid paths, 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 sterility cannot be assured, creating a risk of harm (infection) even though no injuries have been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge BEQ-TOP 32200 ECC Packs (Material 701053319R01) used for extracorporeal circulation. The recall is limited to Batch Number 3000077744, which was distributed nationwide.

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. This design issue means the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured during the sterilization process.

Healthcare facilities and consumers who have these specific packs should stop using them and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for instructions on return or replacement. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries associated with this recall.
