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 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 specific custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation (ECC) manufactured by Maquet Getinge. The affected products include material numbers 701063255R01 and 701063255R02, identified as BEQ-TOP 25003 3/8 3/8 up to 7 lpm. The recall covers specific batch numbers, including 3000070816, 3000072682, 3000074736, 3000077083, 3000080988, 3000082175, and 3000087051.

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 between the closed port and the cap during the sterilization process. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, potentially compromising the sterility of the device.

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.
