Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling Rapid Response Universal Packs because a design flaw may prevent proper sterilization of the stopcock ports.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a failure to assure sterility in a medical device used for extracorporeal circulation, which carries a significant risk of serious injury or infection.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge BO-TOP 13901 Rapid Response Universal Packs (Material 701054874R01). The recall involves specific batch numbers: 3000077890 and 3000079608. The products were 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 during sterilization. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, which poses a risk of infection if the devices are used for extracorporeal circulation.

Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected products immediately and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for instructions on return or replacement. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA.
