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.

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 is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves a potential failure of sterilization (infection risk) for a medical device, which fits the criteria for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' or significant risk without confirmed fatalities.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling specific custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation (ECC) manufactured by Maquet Getinge. The affected products are identified by the material number 709000485R01 and batch number 3000076765. The recall is nationwide.

The recall was initiated because the closed stopcock and non-vented cap configuration on these devices 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 infection if the devices are used.

Healthcare facilities and users of these specific tubing sets should stop using the affected products and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for instructions on how to return or dispose of them. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
