Maquet Getinge Adult ECC Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific adult extracorporeal circulation tubing sets because a design flaw may prevent proper sterilization of the stopcock ports.

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 assured, creating a risk of infection or harm, but the source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 24202 ADULT ECC tubing sets (Material: 701054295R01) with Batch Number 3000080713. The recall is due to a potential issue with the sterilization process for these devices.

During sterilization, 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, meaning the devices may not be fully sterile.

The affected products were distributed nationwide. Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected tubing sets and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions or replacement.
