Maquet Custom Tubing Sets Recalled for Sterility Assurance Concerns
Maquet Cardiovascular is recalling custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation because a design feature 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 is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves a potential failure to achieve sterility in a medical device used for extracorporeal circulation, which poses a risk of infection, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Maquet Cardiovascular, LLC is recalling custom tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation (ECC). The specific product involved is the Maquet Getinge BEQ-TOP 54500 BSW-McLANE 3/8 Quadrox iD, with material number 709000496R01 and batch number 3000077081. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA.
The recall is due to a potential issue with the sterilization process. 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. As a result, the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured, meaning the device may not be fully sterile.
The affected products were distributed nationwide. Healthcare facilities and users of these specific tubing sets should stop using the affected units and contact Maquet Cardiovascular for further instructions on replacement or return.
