Maquet Getinge ECC Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific ECC 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 sterility cannot be assured, but the source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries have been reported, capping the score at 3 per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Maquet Getinge BEQ-T 39700 ECC Packs (Material: 701062473R01) used for extracorporeal circulation. The recall is due to a potential defect in the closed stopcock and non-vented cap configuration. This design may prevent the flow of humidity and ethylene oxide gas into the fluid path during the sterilization process, meaning the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured.

The affected products were distributed nationwide. The recall involves specific batch numbers: 3000056807, 3000058047, 3000061214, 3000064945, 3000068116, 3000071379, 3000071832, 3000080848, and 3000081908. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries associated with this recall.
