Maquet Getinge Custom Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling specific batches of BO-TOP 48400 OR PACK tubing sets because a design flaw 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 risk-of-harm product (medical device) where the sterility assurance level cannot be verified, creating a potential risk of infection, but no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling the Maquet Getinge BO-TOP 48400 OR PACK (Material: 701064327R01). These are custom tubing sets used for extracorporeal circulation (ECC). The recall affects batches 3000045085, 3000047033, 3000051653, 3000056258, and 3000062266, which 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, meaning the devices may not be fully sterile.

Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected tubing sets immediately. Users should contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions on how to return or dispose of the recalled products.
