Maquet Getinge Custom Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation because a design feature may prevent proper sterilization gas flow, 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, posing a risk of infection (risk-of-harm product) without reported injuries or illnesses in the source text, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

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 701055862R01 and include batch numbers 3000074735 and 3000080798. These products were distributed nationwide.

The recall is due to a potential defect in the sterilization process. 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 products may not be sterile.

Healthcare facilities and users of these specific tubing sets should stop using the affected units and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions on return or replacement. This recall is classified as Class II by the FDA, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences.
