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 gas flow, 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 does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical risk without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling specific lots of Maquet Getinge Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC). The affected products are the BEQ-TOP 5208 ECC Small-Cardiac sets with material numbers 701067350R01 and 701067350R02. The recall covers batch numbers 3000067384, 3000070970, 3000074734, and 3000081003. 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 sterilization. This issue means the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, potentially leaving the device non-sterile.

Healthcare facilities and users of these specific tubing sets should stop using the affected units immediately. Users should contact Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC for instructions on how to return the products or obtain replacements.
