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.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling specific Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC). The affected product is the Maquet Getinge BO-T 2303 3/8" x 3/8" Adult Pack, Material 709000004R01, with Batch Number 3000058327. The recall is classified as Class II by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

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, posing a potential risk of infection if the product is used.

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.
