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, 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 medical device where sterility cannot be assured, posing a risk of harm (infection) without reported injuries, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling specific batches of Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC). The affected products are the BO-TOP 36504 Adult ECC Pack, identified by material numbers 701065765R01 and 701065765R02. The recall covers specific batch numbers: 3000058184, 3000067382, 3000069380, 3000071967, 3000074322, and 3000077734. These products 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 the sterilization process. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) for the stopcock ports cannot be assured, which poses a risk of non-sterile equipment being used in medical procedures.

Healthcare facilities and consumers who have these specific products should stop using them and contact Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC for instructions on return or replacement. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has classified this as a Class II recall.
