Maquet Cardiovascular Recalls Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation

Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation because a design flaw may prevent sterilization gas from reaching all parts of the device.

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 verified, creating a risk of infection or harm, but the source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC), specifically the Maquet Getinge-BEQ-TOP 35503 SGD Pack (Material: 701068797R01). The recall affects batch number 3000079609 and was 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 between the closed port and the cap. This design 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 devices should stop using the affected tubing sets and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions on the recall process.
