Maquet Getinge Infant ECC Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific infant extracorporeal circulation tubing sets because a design feature may prevent proper sterilization, potentially 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 risk-of-harm product (medical device) where the sterility assurance level cannot be guaranteed, but no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge BEQ-TOP 28901 MCV INFANT ECC tubing sets. The recall involves specific batch numbers: 3000046112, 3000051162, 3000056133, 3000062045, 3000071402, 3000074895, 3000075715, and 3000078940. The product 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 during sterilization. This issue means the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, creating a potential risk of non-sterile equipment.

Healthcare facilities and consumers should check their inventory for the affected batch numbers. If the product is found, it should be removed from service and returned to the manufacturer or disposed of according to local regulations. No specific instructions for end-users are provided in the source text beyond the identification of the defect.
