Plain-English summary
Maquet Medical Systems USA is recalling QUADROX-iR cardiopulmonary bypass devices used during heart-lung bypass surgery. Affected models include BEQ-HMO 51100-USA, BEQ-HMO 71100-USA, HMO 50100-USA, HMO 51100-USA, HMO 70100-USA, and HMO 71100-USA, available with or without integrated filters and with BIOLINE or SOFTLINE coatings. All lot numbers distributed nationwide are included in this recall.
The recall addresses packaging defects that may compromise device sterility. During production, an accessory may be improperly placed, causing creases and damage to the sterile pouch. Additionally, packaging may develop holes, cracks, dents, and crushed areas. These defects can breach the sterile barrier, potentially exposing the device to non-sterile conditions.
Exposure to non-sterile product may result in inflammation, infection, sepsis, and ischemia.
